Rainbow PUSH 'Crusade for America' Marches on Detroit

Here's group to follow. These folks are forging a path for democracy and we need to show solidarity with them. The Rainbow PUSH Coalition (RPC) is a grassroots collective action group that was formed by the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson in 1996. Rainbow PUSH refers to itself as a "multi-racial, multi-issue, progressive, international membership organization," and the goal is to work non-violently for social justice. Rainbow PUSH Michigan staged a protest march called "Crusade for America Parent and Youth March" downtown Detroit on Saturday, August 25. God bless you, RPC-MI. You're fighting the good fight and I thank you. Here are some of the goals of the march.  Rainbow PUSH 'Crusade for America' Marches on Detroit
