Gathered in the auditorium of Colégio Marista São José, in Tijuca, the Rio de Janeiro ladies organized the Marcha da Família com Deus pela Liberdade, under the coordination of Dóris Pires Gonçalves. The event was scheduled to take place three days later, at Candelária.
Dóris, wife of Army General Leônidas Pires Gonçalves, had the support of anti-communist politicians and women's associations, such as the Women's Campaign for Democracy (CAMDE), the Federation of Daughters of Maria of Rio de Janeiro, and the Association of Brazilian Ladies.
During the meeting at the Colégio, the participants welcomed UDN deputy Danilo Nunes, who made a series of speeches to stir up the audience's emotions, reinforcing the importance of that movement and warning the women about possible communist provocations, such as boycotts on public transportation. The organizers of the March responded with appeals to
Jornal do Brasil
so that private car owners would give up seats in their vehicles to people without transportation who were on their way to the march, in order to avoid possible acts of sabotage.
The participants were
instructed to attend the March with banners, candles, and green and yellow ribbons. More than 200 buses were made available so that the ladies of CAMDE could arrive at Candelária without any hassle
