There’s been a lot of talk about the big March in Washington DC on September 24. For all those going, travel safely and bring back lots of stories (and pictures).
But a lot of us can’t make it to DC…Some of us are financially challenged, or time challenged. Many of us have responsibilities to others that we cannot in good conscience ignore. There are even those who are physically, mentally, or emotionally unable to travel that far, whether alone or with others.
So what do we do? Do we just sit home and watch for coverage of the march in the MSM?
If you go to the United for Peace and Justice website, you can find a list of activities in your area, or if not in your exact area, maybe there’s one a little closer than DC.
If DC is the only place with significant activity, it’ll be easy for the right-wingers, the Bushites, and the MSM to dismiss the action as a bunch of smelly hippies without jobs. But if the sound of marching feet in DC is echoed on the streets in AnyTown USA, that’s got to make people stand up and take notice…including those who may be on our side but too afraid to make their feelings known.
The spouse and I will be marching in San Francisco on September 24th…I invite everyone to join us in the city of your choice.
Blessings and peace to all the world…
