Here is what the event description reads:
“We will march downtown and make our voices heard. We march for those who will be told in the coming days that they are not equal. We march for those who will be and have been told they are less than human. We march because we care about one another no matter our gender, skin color, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.”
