Lets figure out the logistics of having a march on Washington.
I merged a couple of step-by-step guides I found but we should add/alter as needed. I created a new thread (with additional info) for each step so we can brainstorm. Hopefully this will start us on the right track to becoming organized.

The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees "...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This includes demonstrating in Washington D.C.
Steps
Start planning at least three months ahead of your anticipated march. Permits are approved within 48 hours but you can submit them up to a year or more in advance. The earlier you start, the better.
Consider hiring a professional event organizer.
