I know that most people probably know about this, but I wanted to get the word out. The planners are estimating 300,000 to 500,000 in attendance. Add my beautiful smile to the FBI photos that will surely be taken that day.
Buses and vans are coming from all over the eastern seaboard. Unions are getting busses from all over, and there are caravans coming from as far away as Arkansas and Wisconsin. If you have the time, try to come. Who knows if it will make an impact with this administration, but it's worth getting your voice noted. It may embolden OUR Congress to stand up and actually do something.
When: Saturday, January 27th, 2007 at 11am
Where: Between 3rd and 7th Streets on the National Mall

United for Peace and Justice Massive Rally Webpage
There are many great speakers. The rally will go from 11am to 1pm and then there will be a march around the Capitol Hill area.
Please spread the word, please come if you can.
Like I said, many people know about this already, but I hope that Kos posts a frontpage story to get the word out. Until then, I'll keep trying.
On Monday they will also be holding a Grassroots Lobbying day on Capitol Hill for volunteers to talk to their congresspeople.
Have a good one.
P.s. Please recommend so people keep this on the frontpage, the more people that know the better! Thanks very much.
