DEL.ICIO.USThe SCLC wants a river of people to march to the state Capitol, 48 hours before Election Day
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference is pulling together what it calls a “massive” get-out-the-vote march that will send a river of people to the state Capitol only 48 hours before Election Day.
“We’re looking at 20,000 people at the low end,” said SCLC spokeswoman Keisha Ray.
Organizers intend to draw on Atlanta University students to generate much of that number. Details can be found here, but participants are being asked to assemble early Sunday afternoon at Herndon Stadium on the Morris Brown College campus.
The march down MLK will finish with a two-hour rally at the Capitol.
