On Saturday, October 2, 2010, hundreds of thousands of people from across America will gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate our re-commitment to change. The One Nation March will feature human and civil rights leaders, labor leaders, environmental and peace activists, faith leaders, celebrities and sports figures – all marching together to help Put America Back to Work and to Pull America Back Together. And to help reorder our national priorities so that investments in people come first.

The United Auto Workers has endorsed the One Nation March, and has committed to providing its members transportation to the event. Lunch and a t-shirt to wear at the march will also be provided.

Please RSVP to the GEO Office at 413-545-0705 or geo@external.umass.edu.  We are working with UAW Local 2322 and Region 9A to fill a bus that will leave from Haigis Mall, in front of the Fine Arts Center at UMass Amherst at 11:00 pm on Friday and make a stop at the Park and Ride in Northampton at 11:30 pm. We will return late Saturday night.
