They walked through the rain:
They walked through the snow:
And they've made it all the way to Baltimore from Philadelphia!
And these intrepid insurance industry survivors - marching 135 miles over 8 days in honor of Melanie Shouse, a health care activist and Obama volunteer who just died because she couldn't get affordable health care - will arrive in Washington, DC tomorrow!
And we'll be there to meet them.
If you're in the DC area, come join us and help the marchers send a message to Congress that we need health care reform done now and done right. We're meeting the marchers at Union Station at noon and walking with them the last mile to Capitol Hill.
Then, at 2 pm in the Dirksen Office Building (Room 50), we'll rally with Majority Leader Reid and Members of Congress including Senators Harkin, Dodd, Casey, and Sherrod Brown.
These leaders, who will be attending the White House health care summit, will get our message personally, so we know it's getting through.
So come, join us, and send the message.
And if you're not in DC, people from around the country will be backing up our marchers by contacting Congress 1 million times to make sure the message gets through. MoveOn.org is spearheading the effort.
Sign up to take part in our virtual march on Washington!
Meanwhile, around the country, people are rallying for real reform.
In California:
In Arkansas:
In Massachusetts:
In Minnesota, with Senator Al Franken:
And in Ohio:
We must finish reform and finish it right. No excuses!
