REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH
100 Days. 1,000 Marches to the Polls.
A nonviolent, nonpartisan call to the polls.
Across the country, communities are preparing to walk, march, roll, caravan, and gather as part of 100 Days, 1,000 Marches to the Polls. This is a nonviolent, nonpartisan effort connecting local civic participation across the nation.
Every pin on the map tells part of the story. But the map is not complete yet.
Congregations, faith communities, neighborhood groups, civic organizations, disability communities, community leaders, and partner organizations are organizing local marches in communities across the country.
Now we need to make that collective effort visible.
Communities in 40 states and the District of Columbia have already put their march on the map.
Congregations across more than a dozen traditions are marching, including AME Zion, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, AME, United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, Unitarian Universalist, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Jewish communities.
Faith communities, civic organizations, disability communities, sororities, and campus ministries have all registered marches.

Partner organizations are encouraged to register their marches as well. Your march does not have to be organized directly by Repairers of the Breach to be represented as part of this collective effort.
Registering does more than count your march. It places your community on the national map and helps all of us see the collective civic participation taking shape across the country.A gathering of ten matters.
A gathering of fifty matters.
A congregation walking together matters.
Neighbors rolling to the polls together matter.
A coalition bringing organizations together matters.
Local action becomes part of the larger picture when we can see it, connect it, and recognize that communities across the country are participating together.

Three Ways to Participate
1. FIND A MARCH.
See what is happening near you.
2. REGISTER YOUR MARCH.
Put your community on the national map.
3. SHARE WITH A PARTNER.
Send this invitation to congregations, organizations, community leaders, and neighbors in your network who may already be organizing.
One community may see only its own march.
But when we put the marches on the map, we begin to see the collective effort taking shape.
100 Days. 1,000 Marches. Local communities. A collective national witness.
