"We will leave from there in a single file, slow, solemn procession and proceed toward the city, stopping at the nearby site of the war memorials to read the names of the dead for five minutes, in recognition of five years of illegal occupation of Iraq. We then continue on our route which will take us past the State Department, where we will also pause, to create an "Endless" War Memorial in protest of a foreign policy that perpetuates wars of aggression and occupation. Next our route will take us through the K Street corridor, where we pass the offices of many of the war profiteers and will expose, through our presence, the horror of the human cost of a war waged for oil and wealth. Our procession through the streets of DC will continue until @12:00 p.m.. when we arrive at McPherson Square, at 15th and K Street NW where we will break for an hour. Others who want to join can meet us here. McPherson Square Park is a permitted, staging area for the day where other events will be taking place.

The March of the Dead will converge again at 1:00 p.m. meeting at the White House. We are asking people to come together wearing their masks as they approach the area, so we will be coming as the dead from all directions toward the White House. We will begin a walking meditation in a circle in front of the White House to demonstrate the tragic and continuous suffering unleashed by the policies of this administration. From there, we will weave our way through the city to the site of the Justice Department where the names of the dead will be read as evidence of the crimes that have been committed by this administration."
