We continue to coordinate event planning details with the local authorities.  More information will be made available as we get it.  Please keep checking back for updates.  For now, here's your #ResistKit to get you started.

​

​

WHAT

An epic, peaceful human rights march.

​

​

WHEN

Sunday, June 11, 2017  ∙  8am

​

​

WHERE

Gather at Hollywood & Highland, the site of the very first LA Pride Parade in 1970.  Hollywood Blvd will be closed between La Brea and Highland.  After an opening ceremony, we will march together to West Hollywood where we’ll hold an epic rally, and then party with Pride!

​

Meeting a group?  Pick a spot to meet your friends that will be easily found and recognized by you all.  For example, between Sycamore Ave and Highland, in front of Starbucks, on top of Britney Spear's star, outside of Zara, John Wayne's hand prints... you get the idea!

​

But...

​

**DO NOT PLAN TO GATHER ON OR NEAR EL CERRITO & LA BREA!!!**

**EL CERRITO WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED FOR PRODUCTION VEHICLES**

**LA BREA INTERSECTION WITH HOLLYWOOD BLVD WILL BE CLOSED FOR PUBLIC ACCESS**

PREPARING FOR #RESISTMARCH

Click to help you get ready for the big day, we have created a 22 Days of Action Calendar

 

Here are a few things you can do to get ready:

​

•  HOST A SIGN MAKING PARTY. Come on, who doesn't love a reason to go to a party?! And who doesn't love the idea of being the person with the catchiest slogan and coolest sign that appears on national TV? 

  • The cities of Los Angeles and West Hollywood have been very accommodating and they welcome our right to freedom of expression. However, for your own safety and the safety of others, anything that could potentially be used as a weapon is prohibited and could result in a misdemeanor citation. 

  • You should not use metal sticks of any kind, and if you choose to mount your sign on a wooden stick, it must adhere to certain size restrictions. Rectangular wooden sticks cannot be thicker than one-fourth inch or wider than two inches (think about those wooden  rulers we used to have in elementary school). If you decide to use a square wooden stick instead of a rectangular one, it cannot be not more than three-quarters inch at its thickest point (that's basically the same width as a penny). 

  • Instead of mounting your sign on metal or wood sticks, consider alternatives. You could glue together 4-5 thin strips of foam core board, or you could use one of those hollow cardboard tubes that wrapping paper is sold on, or you could just put your witty protest message on a piece of sturdy thick poster board or foam core so you don't even need the stick!

THE EXPERIENCE

Gather at Hollywood & Highland to experience the opening ceremony.  From there, we will march to West Hollywood in what could be the largest LGBTQ march in LA History!  

​

Once we make it to West Hollywood, #ResistMarch will host a epic rally where community and national leaders will speak about why it's more important than ever be unified to change the direction of our country.  

​

And because wherever the LGBTQ+ community gathers we have a good time, so after the rally we will PARTY with Pride! 

​

​

MARCHING

There will be no set order of marchers or marching groups. Remember this isn't the usual LA Pride parade: there are no floats and there is no order in which groups set off. So if you want to be near the front, come early!

- Cash

- Water Bottle (there will be water stations along the route to refill)

- Snacks
