Pathway to Unity this Friday, March from DeMatha High School to DC Border

Organized by North Brentwood, Brentwood, College Park, Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, and University Park council members and residents:

On the morning of Friday, August 28th, citizens of our community will walk in solidarity down the Route 1 corridor from the East-West Highway to the D.C. border to express support for the goals of The Commitment March, the 57th Anniversary of the March on Washington.

Walkers can walk for one block or all the way down to the National Mall, advocating for police reform, voter registration & participation, and an accurate census. The event, called the “Pathway to Unity,” is supported by a collaboration between the residents of Brentwood, College Park, Hyattsville, North Brentwood, Mt. Rainier, Riverdale, and University Park. Local government representatives and advocacy organizations will have tables along the route with information on voting, the census, food distribution, and more. The region’s rich artistic community will also take part; local musicians and artists will be positioned to perform for marchers as they pass by.
