I can't lie. The pouring rain discouraged me today and I did not make it to Wall Street. Luckily, we have a second chance (in case you also didn't make it). This is the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Beyond Vietnam" speech, and the organizers (United For Peace and Justice) are treating this march as a call to our leaders to move us in a new direction, toward peace, economic justice, and equality for all.
The struggle for affordable public transportation may not seem glamorous (though it is!), but it is a cornerstone of economic justice and a greener NYC.
If you want to march with Rev. Billy's contingent, meet at the SW corner of Franklin and Lafayette at 11:30. I hope to see you in the streets.
