“Will you come march with us on October 4, 2014 – on behalf of Earth’s disappearing majesty? Elephants and Rhinos are being poached to extinction. Let’s march on this day to reverse the trend.

Let’s march to demand an end to the Ivory and Rhino Horn trade – worldwide – and whether legal or illegal. The distinction makes little difference to the animals being slaughtered.

All US states must establish an outright ban of the ivory trade, China must shut down its Ivory Carving factories and Vietnam must enforce a zero tolerance policy in view of the illegal trade in Rhino Horn that flourishes in that country.

Inspired by the People’s Movement to mitigate poaching and save these iconic animals from extinction, the march in San Francisco is part of a global effort, in several cities worldwide.

The March will take place on Saturday 4th October 2014 to tie in with World Animal Day.

If you are in San Francisco or vicinity, you came to the right place, again, you can email us at or ask a question on this page.

Location: Start at St. Mary’s Square in China Town at 10:30AM, march across the ivory stores on grant street and end at UN (United Nations) Plaza for an amazing rally. Join us in San Francisco, California, October 4.
