On Friday, August 28, 2026, to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of Martin Luther King’s March on Washington, people from across the country will gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. for the March on Washington: Defend the Vote. It is a nonpartisan, interfaith, and intergenerational mobilization organized by National Action Network and the Drum Major Institute (with 70 partner organizations, to date), around these shared priorities:
- Defending voting rights: full access to the ballot and full political representation (including DC Statehood)
- Economic dignity
- Affordability
As you are aware, the right to vote is under direct attack, equal opportunity protections in education, the workplace, and public life are being scaled back, and the rising cost of housing, healthcare, and groceries is making daily life harder to afford. This march stands on the same ground as 1963 because the work of that march remains unfinished.
Here’s the website link and the registration link.
PLEASE ALSO RSVP to US (click “Reply”) if you plan to come to the march. We will be identifying a place and time for us to meet (the time is not yet available from the organizers).
