"The route of the march isn’t finalized, but we have hope that it will start at Portsmouth Middle School, and pass through Market Square, around downtown Portsmouth, and finally back to the middle school. From there, we are all invited to attend the SEAC Solarfest at UNH. You can see more on the Solarfest at their Facebook page," Hirsch wrote.
Hirsch also asked participants to donate to ONE WEPAY to help fund this event.
