COVID-19 Disclaimer: If you have been vaccinated, you may participate and not wear a mask. We do still encourage the 6 feet physical distancing to help slow the spread. If you have not been vaccinated, we strongly encourage you to wear a mask when in crowded areas. If you have symptoms of the coronavirus, or if you have been exposed, or if you live with or regularly come in contact with people who are at particularly high risk of contracting the virus, the best thing to do is to isolate yourself and not participate in the event. And while it is generally true that we should continue to keep our distance from others right now, the desire to show up for your community and your loved ones is understandable. So, if you decide to participate in this local march, please consider wearing a mask when in crowded areas. Bring hand sanitizer, and if you can, maybe pack a few extra water bottles, for yourself and for others who might need them. Try to maintain as much distance from others as possible, and not to touch anyone else if you can. Keeping in mind that the coronavirus appears to spread primarily through droplets expelled when people talk and shout and sneeze and cough, do your best to keep your mouth covered.
