How would one go about organizing a protest march?

[Cassius23]

Ok, here's the deal. I am just about sick and tired of the bad news I've been hearing and want to do something about it. I was hoping that going to the RNC protests would be enough but, well, it wasn't. So, here's the deal. I would like to try to organize a protest for in and around Labor Day weekend at Washington DC. I am gonna try and dial up some of my friends from Alabama for Kerry, see if they'll beat the drum in the south and see what we'll come up with. I currently live in NJ and I'm gonna try and see what democrats and other such liberals and progressives I can find. Then once we get core groups, then we load 'em up on buses and meet in DC.

What will we be protesting?

Well, I'm not sure just yet as there are so MANY things to choose from. I'll probibly just pick about four and go with that.

So, umm..help? I've never planned anything like this before and wouldn't do it now but I feel very strongly we need to make this happen and nobody else has come forward to do it. I mean, when was the last time we marched on Washington?
