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.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
