Who organizes the March?
The first three marches were organized in Italy and started upon the initiative of Società Libera, a cultural study center not affiliated to any party whose purpose is the promotion of indivual liberties. This year the 4th International March shall simultaneously take place in Paris, Rome and Berlin and is organized in collaboration with many communities, among the many: Vietnamese, Uyghur, Burmese, Cabinda, Tibetan, Iranian, Chinese Democratic Party, Lao, etc.
What kind of march is it?
It is a SILENT march, in the same style of the pacific marches of Ghandi, non-violent and participative. The people marching want to be WITNESSES of the current situation of human rights, in order to raise the awareness in public opinion on the themes of human rights and individual liberties that, in todays global society, seem to have been marginalized to a second place behind mere economic and commercial needs.
How long does it last?

Will the March take place if it rains?

In which cities does the March take place?

What do I need to do in order to participate?
If you actively want to participate to the March you just need to show up at the departure point of the above mentioned routes. As previously said it is a silent march, in order to think about the current situation of individual liberties and human rights in the world. The March, therefore, also has a meditative purpose and aims at being a moment of reflection and aggregation.
I cannot participate to the march but I would like to express my support. How can I do that?
Even if you cannot directly participate to the March you can still support this initiative by stating your support on this link. Your support doesn’t imply any kind of commitment apart from the willingness to morally support our initiative and it represents an important stimulus for all the promoters of the March.
Can I carry with me a symbol/flag of a specific community that I want to represent?
Yes. Everybody is allowed to carry a symbol of any community that for different reasons (oppression by authoritarian regimes in their country, violation of human rights) is oppressed or sees denied its own freedom of expression.
