Lots of union, otherwise pro-labor, and anti-racist groups listed under the "Partners", I like that. Lots of social-democrat groups, some radical. SPUSA is organizing for it, maybe I'll RSVP with them. I'd have to get off of work that weekend to attend...not sure if I'll be able to... :(

the one thing that worries me about this is the CP-USA and the UFPJ(or elements associated with it) are involved in this.
i had made a very damning statement against this but i retract it because labor is taking a large part in this.

Cuz we're not, though at this point it looks like we're going to have people there as part of a broader socialist "Dump The Dems" contingent w/ Solidarity, the ISO, and others.
If and how the SP should be mobilising around this event has been somewhat controversial- the original push was to get members and locals to organise solidarity demonstrations on September 29th, but references to October 2nd were worked into the original solidarity statement. It's somewhat unfortunate, but it can be worked with. However, this intention to mobilise for this march is being coupled with intense sectarianism against groups like the ISO, as a number of SPers (both on the right and left, but mostly the right), don't want to work with the ISO because they're "sectarian" and "vanguardist," and they seem to be worried about the ISO controlling the message coming out of this "Dump the Dems." This may be a valid point, but if they're worried about the ISO drowning out our politics, why are we even going to a rally where the vast majority of people will be there to support the Democratic Party in the 2010 elections? In my view, it's blatant sectarianism on these members' parts, criticism of the ISO aside (which may be valid, though I don't have much experience working with the ISO to really comment one way or the other.)

One nation working together? Meaningless dribble in the service of middle class bureaucrats and politicos.
Yes, let's all go to Washington to march around a few blocks chanting to pressure the servants of capital in government.
The reality is that the United States like the rest of the world is divided into classes with opposing interests that are impossible to reconcile. Nothing short of the resolution of that conflict in favor of the working class is going to break us out of this morass.

I read something interesting from, of all people, Democratic Party hack Markos Moulitsas (founder of Daily Kos). He said that the day of the street protest has passed, that it was at its most effective during the '60s, when television was still relatively new. At that time, TV served as the cutting-edge medium to reach people, but now the Internet is that medium. TV viewership is falling, and besides, seeing a street protest on the tube no longer has the power to move people like it once did. So his argument is that the street protest should be replaced by Internet movements, which now have the power to mobilize people.
I don't know if he's right or not, but I have noticed that every time there's a street protest nowadays, it is simply contained and ignored by the ruling class. Compare their announced agenda pre-protest to their actions post-protest and there's often no difference between the two. I don't know how an Internet movement might do any better, though. TV points cameras at the real world, but TV is dying. The Internet is thriving, but all the action takes place in a virtual world. It seems that even an Internet movement still has only one outlet: meatspace. But the impact just isn't there like it once was.
Anyway I thought Moulitsas made an interesting point about the effectiveness of medium, and how it changes.

I'm going with a few members from SDS. We aren't a partner or anything, but I assume a lot of SDS people will show up. I might have a black or red flag to show there are some revolutionary leftists present. I'm mainly interested since it will be the first large protest I have attended.

With Jon Stewart and Colbert planning rallies this fad is becoming overplayed. To make it even more sad, it's a fad started by Glenn Beck.
Having a significant Black Bloc at this rally would be pretty nice though, only for the chance that we might establish more of a presence within the labor movement. It would definitely be a good place to distribute literature anyway.

Yeah rallies, a fad. Rallies have existed since roman times, but now they are a fad. Rallies having been non-stop every year all the time, a fad. And I'm sure having a giant rally of a million people and having a black bloc smash some windows will really inspire people to struggle. Since obviously the struggle is against storefronts and not the capitalist class.

I guess I missed where I said that rallies were fads.
You would think it would be pretty easy to infer from my post that I was referring to Capitol Hill rallies being organized by media personalities, hence the references to Glenn Beck, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart. Sorry if that was a little too complex for you to grasp.
Also, I said nothing about smashing storefront windows either but I guess by now I shouldn't be surprised by your reading comprehension. Black Blocs march in DC all the time and I don't believe they have ever smashed any storefront property. But then again, how much storefront property is there on Capitol Hill?
Anyway, all I said was having a Black Bloc march and distribute literature would be nice to see. Are you suddenly against marching and distributing literature?
Gee, for calling for participation in a worthless rally you sure are defensive. I guess you would rather me speak out against anyone even thinking about taking part. Ok then, forget the Black Bloc or any kind of anarchist participation in this bureaucratic liberal rally. No sweat off my brow.

*Statement of the Socialist Contingent followed by initial endorsers and
information for Washington, DC:*
Join the Socialist Contingent on October 2
We March for Jobs, Peace, Justice and the Socialist Alternative That Can Win
Them
Hundreds of thousands of Americans organized by labor and civil rights
organizations will gather in Washington, D.C. on October 2 to demand a
change in the direction that our nation is heading. We are proud to join
this march to demand jobs, to demand an end to the wars in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and for a society that is fairer, more equal and
more just. We believe it important to be in the capital on that date to help
create a counterweight to Glenn Beck, the Tea Party, and Republicans, their
reactionary politics, ruthless economics, and their racism.
We do not, however, share the goals of the AFL-CIO, the NAACP, and other
organizations which hope to achieve jobs and justice by supporting Barack
Obama and the Democratic Party in the national elections on November 2. We
believe that it has become quite clear now that neither Democrats nor the
Republicans are capable of solving the country’s three great crises—the
economy, the environment, and the wars—in a way that will be good for the
American people. The goals of a full employment economy, real environmental
sustainability, and peace cannot be achieved by our capitalist system and
the corporations motivated only by profit. We need a new direction toward a
new system.
The two major parties have failed us. During the past two years, the
Democrats and Republicans have failed to represent us, but they have done a
fine job of representing the banks, insurance companies, and corporations.
They saved the banks for the bankers—not those whose homes are still
threatened with foreclosure or collapsing value. They saved the auto
industry for the auto CEOs—not for the workers whose plants have been
closed, whose health insurance contributions have been raised, and whose
wages have been lowered. They have saved the health insurance companies by
forcing millions of Americans to buy their policies, while denying us a
single-payer plan and leaving prices remain uncontrolled. They have saved
them, but they have not saved us.
We join the movement for this march, excited and enthused to see the labor
unions, the African American and Latino populations, the women’s, gay and
lesbian and environmental movements taking to the streets. But we know that
change can only be brought about as it has been in every period of American
history by independent social movements. And such independent movements must
find political expression first in independent candidates and then in a
party of working people and all in our society who suffer exploitation,
discrimination and oppression.
The organizers of this march have called it “One Nation.” The truth is we
are two nations. One nation of corporate CEOs and Bankers and their legions
of high level executives, the very wealthy of our country, and another
nation of working people, many of them now jobless. We are two nations: the
corporations who run this country and the working people who make this
country run. We will be marching with the working class to end a system
dominated by corporations. We march because we believe that those working
people who make the country run should run the country.
We know from American history and the history of the world that great and
progressive changes come about only from below. We know that in modern times
working people, who stand at the center of our economy and represent the
majority of our population, represent the crucial force capable of making
the changes we need. We also know that if we only organize movements and
fail to create an independent political force, the Democrats will harvest
all of our organizing. The fruits of our labor will be turned against us in
Congress.
So we march. We march for jobs. We march for single-payer health care. We
march for free public education from K to Ph.D. We march for an end to our
racist and class-biased injustice system, and for equal justice for all. We
march for women’s rights. We march for legalization of all the undocumented.
We march for LGBT rights. We march for an end to the destruction of our
environment. We march for an end to the U.S. wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Pakistan. We march for an end to US support for Israel's occupation of
Palestine and blockade of Gaza. We march knowing that the things we march
for can only be achieved by abolishing capitalism and creating a democratic
socialist society. We invite you to march with us. Join the Socialist
Contingent on October 2 in Washington, D.C.
