For those looking to park within a 10–15 minute walk from the protest while minimizing risk, here is a list of reliable, covered parking garages in the downtown area.

Advocacy Garage

Walking distance to City Hall: 2 minutes
Located just steps from the protest site, this secure, gated garage offers 24/7 access and is the closest option for attendees who want to be in and out quickly. It’s heavily used by legal and government personnel during business hours, so early arrival is advised.
