Every year, some delegate at the NEA Representative Assembly submits a new business item demanding a march on Washington, and every year it gets voted down (ref. 2003 and 2006).

This year, there will be a large march on Washington on October 2, and NEA decided to join in.

The organizers are a coalition of 170 liberal and civil rights groups, such as the National Council of La Raza, the Service Employees International Union, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the United States Student Association, AFT and now, NEA.

All of these organizations are powerful special interest groups with headquarters or offices in Washington, DC.

Isn’t time someone organized a march out of Washington?
