The March: People will begin gathering at Freedom Plaza at 8:30 am, where they will then march from Freedom Plaza to the West Lawn of the Capitol. Freedom Plaza is located at 1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004, Metro Center Red, Blue and Orange lines, Federal Triangle (Blue and Orange lines).
There will be speakers at Freedom Plaza prior to marching. The March ends and the Rally will officially begin at 1:00 at the West Lawn of the Capitol. To accommodate as many speaker and musician requests as possible, there will also be speakers on the West Lawn before the official start time at 1:00 but the exact start time of these speakers and entertainers has not been determined. It will be dependent on how quickly the staging and audio equipment will be setup.Here is the latest agenda provided by a reliable source. Note that Richmond's Doc Thompson is scheduled to speak between 2-3:00 pm.

Not able to get on a bus? The next fastest way to arrive at the event on time will likely be by Metro. The closest Metro stops are Union Station on the Red Line and Capitol South on the Blue/Orange lines. Volunteers from Freedomworks are said to be posted at Union Station to direct you. Once you exit the front of Union Station, the US Capitol is a three block walk straight down Louisiana Avenue, NW. Limited parking is available at Union Station, at area parking garages and on the street at meters. Because of the unusually high number of public events taking place on the Mall and surrounding areas that day, expect traffic to be extremely congested. But you probably already know that. It's D.C.
