WFL LOCATION CHANGE
We have very important news and changes to announce this year for the upcomingWalk for Life West Coast. Because of scheduling conflicts that were beyond our control, we will have a whole new venue and route this year. So instead of our usual meeting place at Justin Herman Plaza, this year we will gather at Civic Center Plaza in front of City Hall.
RALLY
The Rally will be held at Civic Center Plaza from 12:30 – 1:30 pm. Our confirmed speakers include: African-American pro-life activist Mrs. Lori Hoye; obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Vansen Wong; the Reverend Clenard Childress, Director of L.E.A.R.N.; and Ms. Jacquie Stalnaker, a post-abortive woman and Silent No MoreRegional Coordinator.
ROUTE
After the Rally (at 1:30 pm), we will begin walking from Civic Center Plaza and will process down Market Street to end at Justin Herman Plaza at the Embarcadero. The Walk from Civic Center Plaza to Justin Herman Plaza is approximately 1.8 miles.
INFO FAIRE
The Info Faire will be held prior to the Rally at Civic Center Plaza. This will give everyone the chance to visit the booths as they arrive at Civic Center Plaza. The Info Faire will be open from 11:00am – 12:30 p.m.
For those who wish to participate as a vendor, please sign up using our registration form as soon as possible.
BUSES
We ask that you register your buses as soon as possible. This will greatly aid us in facilitating the movement of the buses. There are already 58 buses coming from the Sacramento area alone, so please register the buses for your groups as soon as possible. All of the buses will drop off the participants at Civic Center Plaza, and then park at AT&T Park.
From Justin Herman Plaza, it is an additional 1.1 miles to walk to AT&T Park. This new route from Civic Center Plaza to AT&T Park is slightly shorter than our past route from Justin Herman Plaza to the Marina Green.
We will provide shuttle buses to take people from Justin Herman Plaza to AT&T Park. Other options available to reach AT&T Park are public transportation, trolleys, and cabs.
Ending at Justin Herman Plaza this year gives people the opportunity to shop, rest, and eat at the various restaurants throughout the area. As another transportation option, BART is also available at Justin Herman Plaza.
MASS
There will be a 9:30 am Walk for Life Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral at 1111 Gough St., San Francisco. All priests are welcome to concelebrate.
