10,000 Feet of Hope:

As worship participants leave their places of worship, those with sections to add to the “rope of hope” will be invited to lead the procession (walking or by metro) to Upper Senate Park. As you arrive at Upper Senate Park, please carry the sections of rope to the area near the stage, where they will be joined with others from prayer and worship services around the city and across the country. Two Ropes will be created and will fan out to either side of the crowd from the stage, creating a contained space and feeling of unity as we gather from a variety of faith traditions. As the public witness ends, the two ropes will continue our witness of unity as we process to the Cannon and Hart Office Buildings.
