March theme and purpose:
We will be marching for accessible and inclusive transportation options. This event is to honor and build on the 40th anniversary of the Cleveland Transportation Protests. Mary Verdi-Fletcher, the Rosa Parks of Cleveland, will share her true story about capturing buses in 1985 to protest the lack of accessibility.
