- when students are out (we need the turnout)

- not at the same time as any other major event or holiday (people plan to leave on those
and do other things, plus interference with existing events might make it impossible to obtain permits)

- in the summer (more people are willing to march when the weather is good)

- when travel is cheap(er) i.e not on holidays again...

??? any other suggestions ???
once a full list of criteria is determined, then start looking for a date that matches.

We must meet all of this for a date if we want a great turnout.

Sometime in June seems like a sweet spot. School is out and plenty of time to promote and save up.

I suggest it is planed for after we get those checks so people have no excuse not to come. We have a lot of young people with very little money and this could be a deciding factor. Hell it may be a factor for me if I come alone or bring my family..

Does this matter to anyone else?

Might want to poll if it matters? May just be me?
