Yes, we have called ALL of them in the last few days!

We strategically planned the march to begin in summer so that we would reach the Capitol with time to carry out our occupation and push our demands before Congress begins its recess on July 4th. We also feel that marching through the heat of the summer shows the sacrifices we are willing to make to see that the issue of corruption is addressed. Finally, students, teachers (like me), and others are able to take time off during the summers, allowing more folks to join us on the march!

We arrive in Sacramento on June 22nd, where we will begin the day with a rally at Fruitridge Park from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. From there, we will march 6.5 miles to the State Capitol. The final rally will be at 2-4 pm outside of the State Capitol. The occupation of the Capitol will begin after the rally.

The date we are arriving at the Capitol (June 22nd) is significant because AJR1 and SB1272 will most likely be voted on the next day, Monday June 23rd. We are confident our occupation of the Capitol will demonstrate to the legislature how strongly the American public feels about the bill and resolution, and that they will act to pass them!

I hope to see everyone in Sacramento on Sunday!
