San Francisco March For The Dead

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On Friday, August 21, there will be a ceremony honoring lives lost to the two pandemics in America. March to the Golden Gate Bridge for a vigil to honor the dead by fighting for the living. 1,000+ Americans are still dying every day. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Meet- up at Crissy Field at 5:30 pm and at around 6 pm, we will march across the Golden Gate Bridge in solidarity with New Yorkers, who will be finishing a march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Several other cities are planning marches across their own iconic bridges at 6 pm local time. See marchforthedead.org for our list of demands, starting with Donald Trump’s resignation.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact us by emailing vigilmarch15@gmail.com. Whether you are able to march or not, please consider a donation for supplies, including yellow umbrellas and flowers.

Wear yellow. Bring flowers or art to leave behind. Come early to write a loved one’s name on a yellow umbrella to carry across the bridge. Masks required, and please maintain physical distance during rally and march.

We invite communities across the country to join us. If you are interested in hosting an event in your city or town, get in touch. We deserve to be heard. #MarchfortheDead pic.twitter.com/E6SGcVxEKY
