Five weeks after Glenn Beck rallied at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, progressives will have their day in the DC sun.
Hundreds Tens of thousands are expected to participate in the One Nation Working Together march:
On Saturday, October 2, 2010, hundreds of thousands of people from across America will gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate our re-commitment to change. The One Nation March will feature human and civil rights leaders, labor leaders, environmental and peace activists, faith leaders, celebrities and sports figures – all marching together to help Put America Back to Work and to Pull America Back Together. And to help reorder our national priorities so that investments in people come first.
I’m going to DC. But if you can’t get on a bus, the event will be streamed live here from noon to 4:00 pm ET.
Update: George Clinton made a surprise appearance at the One Nation rally “just for the funk of it.”
