It’s not the band, it’s a call to come together and share your passions and what you believe in.

On March 4th, 2012, we will gather at 2PM in an effort to continue to drive positive changes in the nation and worldwide.
The concept is simple. Each person picks an issue they are passionate about and want to see changed. Please research that issue and learn as much as you can before March 4th. Along with doing the research regarding factual information, I’m hoping that participants will be compelled to come up with at least one solution to their issue.
When we gather at 2pm on the 4th, everybody will unite with a group related to their issue where they will be able to speak to one another about their ideas, experiences, and why that issue is important to them. People should also feel free to travel between groups if they see something that interests them, after all, this event is about the free exchange of knowledge.
At approximately 3pm, each group will step off and march together to promote a better world.
Participants are encouraged to engage the public and each other with intelligent discussions. On many issues, we may be able to find a middle ground and even a viable solution to a problem that affects all of our lives. And in the end, if that person truly does not want to have a calm discussion, that is their choice and they don’t have to join.
We will avoid engaging the police to prevent the march from getting side-tracked.
This event is peaceful. While certain police officers may show up looking for a fight, it’s up to us to deprive them of that. The same thing goes for provocateurs. They may wish to start a negative interaction with us or the police. We will deprive them of that as well. This serves to protect the overall message. It also serves to protect people who want to bring their children.
With that in mind, everybody is welcome.
