How many will march on Washington on August 24th? [View all]

[Triana]

I recently watched a film about that march 50 years ago. The number of people who showed up was astounding. But I wonder even with all the technology we have now to notify people and spread the word more quickly than ever before -- if we can even get the same number of people to show up again for another march on Washington now.

Even with the speed at which we are moving backwards as a nation, so many people seem to have checked out of activism, not realizing that participating in U.S. society doesn't just mean working, voting and paying taxes (and an occasional stint as a juror) but also involves PARTICIPATING and making your VOICE HEARD, especially when moneyed interests seek to silence them by taping their dollars over our collective mouths.

How many do you think will show?
