Historical Background

The Nationwide Solidarity March for Peace took place on October 14, 2017. The march started at Occidental Park in Pioneer Square at 11 am. According to their Facebook event page, organizers billed the event as "a day for people to come together to share their love and compassion to call out the hatred and violence that is taking place in our society. This is a day for people of all political and religious affiliations, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, disabilities, ages and every other aspect of a human being." Co-organizers and supporters included One America, Faith Action Network, Truman International Security Project, Church Council of Greater Seattle, Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, Washington Dream Coalition, De-Escalate Washington, Neighborhood Action Coalition, CAIR Washington, Codepink Seattle, OXFam, ACLU, Food Justice, The Union of Academic Student Employees at the University of Washington, and Americans for Refugees & Immigrants. Cary Moon, who was then a candidate for Seattle Mayor, Tae Pheonix, and other activist organizers spoke to the crowd.

Near the end of the march, local musician Tae Pheonix requested that marchers get down on one knee and join her in singing the national anthem. This symbolic gesture was done in solidarity with professional athletes, led by football player Colin Kaepernick, in taking a knee during the national anthem to protest the murder of black Americans at the hands of police.
