WHAT TO BRING, WHAT TO EXPECT
Besides yourself and a few friends, it’s important to bring: • A bag lunch• comfortable shoes--the march is about 3-4 city blocks and involves 4 of Trenton’s most historic buildings—the War Memorial, the Masonic Temple, The Old Barracks Museum and the NJ State House. The pathway is accessible to disabled persons and handicapped parking is available. • Postcards, petitions, letters that we will collect and deliver • Enthusiasm, creativity, patience, and good humor We will assemble at the War Memorial at 10:45 am, and because we have a roster filled with speakers, the rally is expected to last until about 1:30 pm. If you wish to make a day of it, consider lunch at one of the many eateries in town (information will be available at the registration tables in the Masonic Temple) and a tour of one or more of these historic sites or a visit to the NJ State Museum located just down the street.
Speakers include: • Actors John Amos, Dan Lauria, Joe Piscopo, Tony Randall and Eric Bogosian• Ben Cameron of Theatre Communications Group • Artist Kiki Smith • History representatives David Cowell of the Advocates for NJ History, Dr. Clement A. Price of the Rutgers Institute for Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience, and character actor Stacy Roth • Bob Patterson of the NJ Travel Industry Association • Elected officials including Senator Leonard Lance, Senator Thomas H. Kean, Jr. and Assemblyman Joseph Roberts, Assemblyman Nicholas Asselta and Assemblyman Louis Greenwald There is an open public budget hearing in Committee Room 4 on the first floor of the State House Annex.

In addition, Capital Lab will be held at 9:30 am in Assembly Room #6 of the State House Annex. Legislators and budget staff will attempt to explain the budget process.
