25th Annual Gladys Ricart & Victims of Domestic Violence Memorial Walk / Brides’ March
Friday, September 26, 2025

If you or someone you know has been affected by family violence or if you denounce this antisocial criminal behavior, we invite you to join the Brides’ March at the 25th Annual Gladys Ricart and Victims of Domestic Violence Memorial Walk on Thursday, September 26, 2025.

For the background on the Bride’s March and the Annual Gladys Ricart and Victims of Domestic Violence Memorial Walk, please visit the History, Mission and Goals page.

Because the white wedding dress has become the profound symbol of the March, we encourage all interested participants to wear a white wedding dress, and we will have some available at our starting location, beginning at 8am.

Otherwise, participants are encouraged to wear white or ALL black to represent mourning for the many that have lost their lives to this crime.

The Brides’ March calls on men and women who denounce domestic violence to join forces in publicly denouncing and raising awareness of this antisocial criminal behavior.

To get a count of the number of people expected to attend, please register at the Registration page, and please be sure to review the Disclosure page for important information about participating in the Memorial Walk.

Everyone is welcomed to bring to the March any size picture of the person(s) whose life you want to honor. At the start of the March these pictures are displayed at the podium to memorialize those we are remembering during the March. Marchers also carry the pictures throughout the walk, and at the Closing Ceremony the pictures are also displayed to pay respect for those lives taken as a result of intimate and gender-based violence.

On Friday, September 26, 2025, join the Brides’ March in remembering Gladys Ricart and the countless other victims, and together let’s raise awareness of the horrors of this antisocial criminal behavior that in one-way or another affects us all.

Get involved by organizing a group of your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers etc. to attend with you, and by spreading the word about the event through your social media outlets. Please use #BridesMarch. For additional information contact Grace Pérez, Brides’ March Coordinator, at BridesMarch@gmail.com.
