Then Decide If You Are With Them

Dear MoveOn member,

Last week, a courageous group left the Occupy Wall Street camp in New York City and started marching to Washington, DC. Their goal was to bring the outrage and energy of the 99% directly to Capitol Hill. They’re marching to call out the congressional Super Committee, which could cut a deal before Wednesday slashing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect tax breaks for the 1%.

The marchers’ stories are powerful, and Congress needs to hear them before they slash programs that so many people rely on.

So we met up with the marchers yesterday and filmed a short video to help spread their story. It’s critical that as many people as possible see this, as the Super Committee nears its critical deadline. Can you share it right now with your friends and family?

If enough of us share this video we can help the march get more attention, get more coverage in the media, and ultimately, put more pressure on Congress and the Super Committee.

After marching nearly 200 miles through the winter cold, they’ll cross through Baltimore and prepare for their final push into Washington on Tuesday, just before the Super Comittee’s deadline. Dozens of supporters have joined the march along the way. But it’s up to all the rest of us to help share their story and make sure that by the time they get to Washington, Congress—and the rest of the country—is expecting them.

Please click here to share the video with your friends and family.

Thanks for all you do.
