Plan Your Peace March

Plan Your Peace March Brainstorm ideas, staff supporters, and community partners. Select a location, like a public park or popular area, and plan your route. Talk with law enforcement, city council, or mayor’s office to find out if a permit is necessary – and invite them to participate! Ask your local officials to request a citywide proclamation for your event.

Promote Your Peace March Reach out to local organizations. Know your talking points. Invite the media. Hang fliers and posters in your community. Send pictures and video to JobCorpsY2Y@mpf.com.

Involve the Media
