A Call For Action: The Next March On Washington
Regardless of whether Hillary or Bernie wins I am putting out a call to action on the scale of MLK Jr.'s "March On Washington" for two weeks after the inauguration of the next POTUS.
We need to unite to see issues prevail like: tuition-free for public colleges and universities, Medicare for all, a shift to the Supreme Court so we see a reversal in the Citizens United decision, Net Neutrality(especially in cellular wireless) a continuation of a(hopeful) freezing out of most of the TPP, a worker's version of the TPP, etc. Numbers on the scale of "The March On Washington" need to be there. Please be in Washington two weeks after the inauguration. I am asking you to figure out a way to get there, use your vacation time, off the clock leave(I don't know all these corporate names). We need these numbers.
Along with these numbers, we have to assume that this will be a success and swaths of hotel rooms may be fully booked. Would you be willing to offer room and board to people coming to march for at least 2 days?
I don't have any speakers yet as I have just proposed this idea after I talked about it on Thom's show; however, the noisemakers in your community who constantly speak to the aforementioned issues as well as people on the more national scale I extend an invitation.
This march is necessary to keep the pressure up for the much needed reforms we wish to see in politics.
