UPCOMING EVENTS: Honoring the 50th Anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington!

[Network 4 Progress]

After the Supreme Court's weakening of the Voting Rights Act and a couple years of Tea Party-led attacks on Democracy and the Middle Class, this is truly an important time to remember what happened 50 years ago in Washington, DC and recently it was announced that President Obama will speak to the nation on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th to commemorate the Anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom and the "I Have A Dream" Speech! (Details TBD)

So, clear your calendar and check out the events already planned like the Big March on Saturday, August 24th!
