I wish I could go... I cannot possibly leave the animals for that long.
But take my heart with you, everyone, when you go.
Me too, I´d love to come and march with you...however, I´ll be arriving a tad later than tomorrow for a westcoast/midwest visit this Summer. Wasn´t Death Valley available for the anti-lgbt movement and their counter ¨gay marriage¨ march? Not to worry, they´d be fine, Mormons are used to deserts and they reproduce under the most any conditions.
Well, unfortunately I'm in Minnesota this weekend....but hopefully some of our lurkers will go.

I watched much of it live and it was excellent! They are also training activists and the first group (already trained) is going door x door tonight!

Wow, there's a description (and pic) pregnant with meaning!
"Selma to": of course makes one think of "Selma to Montgomery" (Alabama) in the CR mvt.
...and a march in the Central Valley makes one think of Cesar Chavez and the UFW.
Good stuff, organizers---reaching back to liberation movements past, to BUILD SOLIDARITY! :-D
Yes, I thnk that was all apparent in the decision...
