- The main march event will be Sunday, 25 April 1993. Preceding it is a
- week or so of various events. Check this week's _Advocate_ for an ad
- giving contact information for the committee which is sponsoring the
- event (the ad specifies a goal of 1 million participants), and keep an
- eye on the local rags like _Bay Windows_ and _In_ for more info.
-
- An Amtrak train will be chartered to carry people down from Boston; I'm
- not sure who is organizing it but I'll bet early reservations will be
- necessary to get in on that deal.
-
- Since the timing is within Clinton's first 100 days of office, it will
- probably draw a humongous number of people, perhaps even the million
- organizers hope for. (Even after the event no one will ever agree on
- the actual number who attended! The media loves to exaggerate...)
