If you plan on attending Sunday’s “No Hate, No Fear” solidarity march in New York City here’s what you need to know.
(Can’t attend the rally? The Forward will have a team of reporters and editors on the ground covering the event online, on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.)
When and Where
The march officially kicks off at 11 a.m. in Manhattan’s Foley Square. Plan on arriving early.
Organizers are asking people to arrive via the north side of the square, at the intersection of Worth Street and Lafayette Street (also known as Federal Plaza).
If you are arriving by subway south of Foley Square you will have to walk north up Broadway or Centre Street until Worth Street. From there walk toward the intersection of Worth and Lafayette and enter on the north side of the square.
What’s the plan?
After a short program, participants will march from Foley Square across the Brooklyn Bridge for a rally in Cadman Plaza (a distance of about 1.5 miles), then a series of speakers will talk.
What can I bring?
Organizers say you should limit the size and number of backpacks. Strollers are welcome and you are encouraged to bring your own signs. Signs will also be provided.
What will the weather be like?
The weather at the kickoff of the rally is expected to be 40 degrees and cloudy. Wind is expected with gusts as high as 20 miles per hour so dress warmly.
Social Media
Plan on Tweeting, Instagramming, Facebooking, etc from the rally? Organizers suggest using the hashtags #JewishandProud, #StandTogether, #NoHateNoFear.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
