Marchers will find out more on registering to vote and where to vote at the following locations: City Hall, Algiers Courthouse, Chef Menteur Voting Machine Warehouse Site and Lake Vista Community Center
The goals of this rally with the Lower 9th Ward Voter’s Coalition aims to ensure the community’s voices are heard; inform the community about candidates and issues on the ballots; keep the community updated on current events and to register ninth ward residents to vote.
Those marching can also bring donations like canned goods, toiletries, and cleaning supplies for Hurricane Harvey victims. The coalition asks to not bring clothing to donate.
