Over 5,000 to Gather Near Los Angeles City College on October 2nd to Hold Massive 'Day of Action'
One Nation CA to re-energize, re-engage and inspire 500,000 Californians to go to the polls in November and fight for the change we voted for in 2008
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- One Nation Working Together California (www.OneNationCA.org) will hold a massive Day of Action on October 2, 2010 near Los Angeles City College where over 5,000 concerned Californians will gather. At the same time as Californians are gathering, an estimated half a million people will march on Washington, D.C. at the Lincoln Memorial and more still at regional events around the country. The event in Los Angeles will be the largest event held outside of Washington, D.C.
Responding to a call to restore opportunity for Americans and pull America back together, One Nation Working Together California will focus on re-energizing voters for this November's election and calling for an end to the polarizing tactics that are being used to divide our country. The goal of the October 2nd events, including the day's get-out-the-vote efforts, canvassing and other ongoing activities, is to encourage 500,000 Californians to re-engage in the political process this season and in 2012.
One Nation Working Together is a fast-growing grassroots movement of people from all backgrounds united by the goal of reordering our nation's priorities to invest in our most valuable resource – our people. The movement is comprised of over 200 organizations and tens of thousands of individuals who believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve the American Dream of having a secure job, a safe home and a quality education.
