Bloggers to report on people's concerns in route to October 2nd national march in Washington
WASHINGTON/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With fewer than seven days before thousands of people from across the country come to Washington, D.C. to join a massive Oct. 2nd rally at the Lincoln Memorial, six Californian activists will board the One Nation Working Together "BlogMobile" (www.onenationca.org) to blog about the concerns of those they meet on their journey.
These "citizen journalists," who represent a cross-section of people
across America, will stop in seven cities during their trip, reporting
on issues facing everyday people including jobs, justice, and public
education. The BlogMobile, a RV, will "sign on and push off" on Saturday, September 25 at 10:00 a.m. from Los Angeles. During its weeklong trip, the One Nation Working Together BlogMobile will make stops in Riverside, California; Phoenix; Albuquerque; Oklahoma City; Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina before arriving in Washington
for the march. On the day of the march, they will join with people from
all 50 states who will travel by trains, planes, buses, and automobiles
to participate in this historic movement.
