The 100,000 people march in DC

cannot be attended by most people. I just
contacted PDA (Progressive Dems for America),
who have organized for Bernie from the beginning.

I hope that we can coordinate a similar rally in
many cities in different states, and was assured
that something like that is in the works.

It might help if all of you ask the Bernie campaign
to work on a similar project.

Just a suggestion.

with other big demos. Those who can get to D.C. do and there are similar events elsewhere on the same day.
(you scared me at first - I thought why can't they attend? Then I figured it out.)

I don't have the finances to go, nor can I leave my critters
for a few days, but I can and will attend a rally in Denver
for a few hours.
A lot of people cannot leave their work for this rally either.

I hope that you are right with other demos occurring at
the same date, but that needs organization and early
application to TPTB for a permit.

It's a lot easier for me to get there- I'm on East Coast and it's a same-day trip: a chartered bus takes about 5 hours. Got to get up at 4 a.m. though BUT
Been there, done that and will do it again for Bernie!

I know DC has to work with park service and Bernie campaign.

it underscores the issues of those of us who fall into that category. Can't get afford the trip and the costs that go along with it.
