Caveats: If you hear any misinformation, e.g. there is any cash involved or that we need a permit, all of that is wrong and they don't know what they're talking about. There have been multiple contacts to the relevant authorities and everything is copacetic. These organizers are doing a cashless grassroots action for the movement's benefit alone.
I am guessing without checking (busy as hell) that the RSVPs are at about 10,000, but I've been low previously.
Dr. Cornel West will march and speak at the rally. In case you haven't heard, Dr. West is controversial, especially because of his strong/overstrong remarks about President Obama in past years. But I will say this. When Laura Flanders interviewed him, he talked about when he was nine years old and he refused to salute the flag because his uncle had been lynched. To be able to go through that in childhood and come to a message of love and unity, this is the mark of a man with character. Is he a firebrand? Yes. But he walks the walk, imo.

I would love to see 100,000 people show up for this! Send the OLIGARCHS a loud and clear message.
Kickin' for ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
