Walk starts at the Providence Career & Technical Academy and ends at the RI Statehouse; After-party venue is pending at Dept of Administration Cafeteria on Capitol Hill.

Rhode Island teens will gather and march across Downtown Providence in observance of National Kick Butts Day, an international day of youth action against Big Tobacco and World No Tobacco Day, an international day to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and its negative health effects. Teens dressed as zombies will send a powerful message to the public about the dangers of youth tobacco use, how to best prevent kids and teens from using tobacco products, and how these winning strategies will save lives from preventable tobacco-related cancers and other illnesses.
