(4) WHAT TO BRING

Bring a water bottle, food, and your painting clothes! For young kids, consider bringing a stroller or wagon.

There will be water available, so please bring a refillable water bottle - and snacks/lunch. There is a farmers market in the Ferry Building at Embarcadero Plaza where you can buy food before the march, and there will be many cafes open within a block of the route. The end of the march will be the world’s largest mass street-muraling project, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting splashed with (water-based, non-toxic) paint!

If you haven't already, RSVP below to march with us! And the Rise organizers request that you text "RiseCA" to 83224 so they can text you directly on Saturday with timing & logistics information. See you at the march!
