Newark March

CFPA-Coordinated Transportation to Newark on August 25th!!

Members and supporters of the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) are organizing transportation to Newark from three areas as indicated below. If you are coming from elsewhere, click on the link below to coordinate transportation: http://www.peaceandjusticecoalition.org/transportation.html

Peace and Justice Train from Trenton & Princeton

There will be a Peace and Justice Train (Northeast Corridor Line) that leaves Trenton at 10:08 AM; the Princeton Shuttle (Dinky) Station on University Place in Princeton at 10:10 AM; Princeton Junction at 10:20 AM; and is scheduled to arrive in Newark Penn Station at 11:12 AM. There are other stops as well, please visit http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/r0070.pdf for a full schedule). When you board the train, please walk to the cabin as far forward as possible to join other Peace and Justice Train riders from CFPA! Once in Newark, Peace and Justice Train riders will join a one mile feeder march to Lincoln Park , and we'll arrive at Lincoln Park in plenty of time for the noon rally.

The March organizers hope to have cars or vans at the train station for those for whom that walk would be difficult. There are also usually plenty of taxis in front of Penn Station, as well as public buses that go to Lincoln Park.
