Since the March will be taking place on the National Mall and the Mall is run by the Park Service will there be any affect on the March.

I have tried looking and see nothing concerning such a happening.

Have you seen or heard anything?

On further investigation I found this under FAQs:
IF THE GOVERNMENT IS SHUT DOWN, IS THE MARCH STILL ON?

They can shut down the government but they can't shut down the #WomensWave! This is a First Amendment protected activity — shutdown or no shutdown, we are marching.

I guess we are still marching to show that women are strong....unlike a certain POTUS who is afraid of the rain on Memorial Day in France. You can't shut down a wave!
