Protesters marched on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, from Logan Circle to Eakins Oval at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, from whence lead organizer Emily Cooper delivered a speech to the rally.

Members of the Black Lives Matter movement, Camp Sojourner and Girls Incorporated programs were among the marchers.
