We will gather at 4PM. This event is free and open to the public. Please wear a mask and abide by social distancing protocols. Optionally you can wear a white, pink, red, or black shirt. There will be extras available at the venue.

Following this time we will perform the flashmob "Break the Chain" and end with a call to action.
