Valentine’s Day March – Downtown Oakland – Tuesday, February 14, 2012 – 6:00 PM

Join us on Valentine’s Day to express our love for each other, and our beautiful city, on a march through the downtown Oakland area. Participants should wear red and/or pink in celebration of Valentine’s Day, and are encouraged to bring flowers, bubbles, Valentine’s candy to share, glitter, confetti, and flower petals.

We will hold a 6:00 PM rally at LOCATION CHANGED TO 19th & Telegraph. Oscar Grant Plaza (14th and Broadway in downtown Oakland), followed by a march starting at 7:00 PM. We will march through the downtown area, offering flowers and candy to bystanders, and inviting them to join us. In the event of a potentially oppressive police presence, participants are encouraged to offer police officers flowers and candy, and couples will be encouraged to stop marching and kiss in the streets in front of the police line.

This is to be a completely nonviolent, family-friendly action, and will be open to all who are interested in joining us in an expression of love for our community and each other.
