About
On Friday, August 28, thousands from across the country will gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for the March on Washington: Defend the Vote. Hosted by Rev. Al Sharpton, the National Action Network (NAN), and the Drum Major Institute on the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, we march because the work is not finished. The March begins at 9 am at the Lincoln Memorial. NAN is offering Virginia Beach Resistance and its partner, COVA Coalition, a FREE BUS to DC from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. We need 55 people to sign up by August 6. This is a one-day trip, up and back same day, and departs at 6 am. The bus will be departing from the Virginia Beach Town Center Fountain Plaza (near 189 Central Park Ave.). There is plenty of parking in the nearby Virginia Beach city parking garages. Only sign up if you are committed to the one-day trip. We must fill up the bus, and a no-show will mean someone else could have gone. Sign up here on Mobilize, and make sure to include both your email address and phone number. The sign-up says phone numbers are optional, but NAN is asking for a list that includes phone numbers, so please add yours. This free bus will only happen if we get enough people to sign up. If more than 55 people sign up, they will be added to a waiting list with the hopeful possibility of a second or more buses. If you do sign up for the bus ride, you should also register for the March at... https://marchonwashington2026.com/ We march to defend the vote, because voting rights are under attack and the protections generations fought, bled, and died for are being weakened. We march to defend civil rights, because attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion are attempts to roll back access, opportunity, and representation. We march for economic justice, because too many families are still fighting for fair wages, affordable housing, equal opportunity, and a fair chance to build wealth. This is not only about one election. This is about whether our democracy will protect all of us. This is about whether the promises of 1963 will finally be made real. This is about standing together, across generations, to say we will not go backward. On August 28, we return to Washington not to remember history, but to make history. We march for the vote. We march for justice. We march for the future.
