The event has been endorsed by important sections of the civil rights and labor movement. The National Board decided this week to call on the party and its clubs to participate. This will be the first national demonstration since the Supreme Court outlawed affirmative action. Here's a PW story on the upcoming action.
Truth is, the organizers started late. It's only in the last week that the march has started to gain traction. The lateness of the hour, however, shouldn't deter us from participating. For us, the issue should be what MLK called the "fierce urgency of now." Our approach can't be routine or business-as-usual, but to join in as best we're able. Please let comrades in your area know that we intend to have a presence and urge folks to attend.
