The event called ‘Commitment March: Get Your Knee Off Our Necks’ is still planning to go full-steam ahead despite increased COVID-19 restrictions in the D.C.

The mayor put out a mandatory two-week quarantine order for anyone traveling from a coronavirus hot spot, but the way it might affect the upcoming march is confusing depending on who you ask.
