PTBE & Beyond
San Francisco Women’s March Saturday, Jan. 20
- Join PTBE congregants Nicole Sorger and Catherine Nelson at this year’s Women’s March in San Francisco. “The Women’s March San Francisco will unite along with multiple other cities in California (and other states) to reaffirm our commitment to building a positive and just future for all, and to celebrate the spirit of resistance efforts over the past year.” Our group will meet at the Millbrae station at Northbound Platform 3 at 10:10, in order to take the 10:21 train together to the march. Make sure to arrive early to purchase BART tickets, or purchase the day before, as last year the lines were extremely long.
