Script: Excellent. Before we get started, I want to give you this card which gives you more information about the project and how to contact us. |

Script: The first question I have for you is open-ended so I will take some notes using my notepad. Would that be okay? |
| |
|
|
|
| Why are you marching today? [record interview response in corresponding notepad entry] | | |
|
|
|
|
Script: Okay, thank you. Now I’d like to begin the short survey that asks a few more questions about why and how you are marching today. For many questions throughout the survey, I will read out a specific statement about your participation in today’s march and I would like you to indicate whether you agree or disagree with that statement. To do so, we will use a scale from one to five, where one means you strongly disagree with the statement, two means you disagree, three means you neither agree nor disagree, four means you agree, and five means you strongly agree. Does this scale from one to five make sense?
[Pause for any questions].

These questions are probably questions you have seen before in other surveys and ask about your age, gender, education, income and ethnicity.

As a reminder, your participation in this survey is anonymous and we are not asking for your name or contact information. Do you have a preference? |
