Hello All:
Sorry to be sending this to you so late, but I just received it myself - so I'm posting it on my blog. Perhaps those of you in the DC, MD, VA area can be there to participate.
For those of you who think our youth are not concerned about what's going on, and not going on, this is a serious indication that you are in error.
Stay Blessed &

OUR GENERATION, OUR CHOICE
DEMAND REAL LEADERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 9
One year ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, young people
are taking to the streets of Washington, D.C. to demand justice on race,
climate change, and immigration.
Right now our political system is failing us, so we’re taking these crises into our own hands. As the election ramps up, this is our chance to demand REAL leadership and make candidates’ agendas work for our movements, and for our future.
Our message: We need political leaders with plans that are in line with the imperatives of justice on race, climate change, and immigration. Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Protect the lives of black, brown, poor, and immigrant communities. Reinvest in healthy jobs, renewable energy, and an economy that works for all of us. Let’s get it done.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Together, we can be a powerful chorus for change — but only if you’re there with us. Sign up above, then share this page with your friends.
