More on the March
The Stand Up! for Democracy in DC Coalition and the DC Host Committee for the March on Washington urges you to get involved in the 40th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. March (or ride) as part of the DC contingent to the Washington Monument at 11 a.m. The DC feeder marches will meet at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23, at the following locations:
Lincoln Park Anacostia Metro African-American Civil War Memorial Metro Dupont Circle Metro (south exit) Eastern Market Metro Minnesota Avenue Metro Stadium Armory Metro (stadium exit)
The DC Host Committee has been working hard and needs your help. Please call 202/232-2500, ext. 2, or go online to volunteer to mobilize the people of the DC metro area.
If you are planning to attend the march, consider signing up with the Project Documentation group, which will record the event in multiple formats (audio, photo and video) from as many prospective viewpoints as possible to later share with the millions who won't be able to attend the march. If you'd like more information, call 202/396-3520 or send an e-mail here.
