YOU can join the march! It does not matter where you live or your age or your political party. Do you have two weeks to spare or maybe an afternoon? Join for however long you can – every step matters. Sign up HERE to be a multi-day marcher. We know your time is valuable, so food and housing will be provided. More info about these logistics coming soon!

No experience necessary. All you need is energy, curiosity and resilience. We will be traveling 8-15 miles a day on sidewalks and large shoulders. Nights will be spent in the communities we’re moving through – this can look like camping out with sleeping bags in a church rec room or even staying with host families. Any experience you do have, from medical to culinary to social media, will be appreciated.

We Are America is a peaceful, community-building movement, so children are welcome to participate. Even our organizers are planning to bring their own kids for a day or two. There will be peaceful rallies, family picnics and lessons about the Constitution. Along the way, we’ll have lively music, arts and crafts, group meals and cooperative games.

Our march travels with a built-in safety net: pre-vetted routes, trained peacekeepers, and a street-medic team. Street medics—volunteers with advanced first-aid training—walk the route, treat blisters or heat stress on the spot, and coordinate in case of emergency. We brief all walkers each morning, share plans with local police/EMS, and partner with SMASH for extra medical gear. Every mile is managed to be as safe as it is inspiring.

We believe that mass, non-violent protests and rallies signal two things at once:

​

1. Capacity—the movement can mobilize people across regions and keep them coordinated.

2. Resolve—participants are willing to accept personal cost to defend democratic norms.

​​

When those signals reach civil servants, business leaders, and security forces, they recalculate loyalties, depriving would-be autocrats of the pillars they need to rule.

​

That is exactly the strategic value of rallies like the We Are America March. By showing thousands of ordinary people ready to walk 160 miles for democracy, we reassure one another that we are not alone, inspire others to join, and lay the groundwork for higher-impact actions—nationwide strikes, targeted consumer boycotts, and sustained civil disobedience—should they become necessary. Each public gathering strengthens the broad, non-violent coalition history tells us is capable of stopping an illegal seizure of power.

Absolutely!  We are all about visibility and inclusive messaging. We are a nonpartisan group and want to encourage people of all stripes to join as we march down your streets. By marching we aim to grow community not divide, and we hope our signs do the same. So sign away!  Write the letters big and readable from a distance. Make a sign you want to see in history books!

YES!! Bring one, bring many! Flags on poles, flag stickers, flag banners...let's reclaim the flag. With each step we take, we march to realize the founding promise of America.

In the midst of preparing for this September's march, this question is hard for us to even think about. In broad terms, we want to keep our new network alive by supporting each other’s events and outreach activities:

​

• We will hold open discussions while en route to generate ideas and plans for next steps -- local, statewide, and regional – that participants identify as addressing urgent needs and as having the best chance of making an impact.

• Nationally, we will continue to partner with organizations working on positive, progressive change​.​

• At WAAM we believe that by relying on each other, we're building a network with the skills and confidence to sustain non-violent resistance and enact positive social and political change.
