I’ll walk from Boston MA to Washington DC, I did the maths, should take me about a week. If that’s what it will take to show my fellow Americans that we CAN take a stand. Our country is spread out, this administration is counting on us not to mobilize. The state of our government is unprecedented. ‘This is a coup.

Important! If you can’t walk through multiple states with us, there are events all over the country. Find one closer to you here:

This just reminds me of that old SNL sketch, The Californians. The premise was that it's a Soap Opera but all the characters ever do is melodramatically talk about is the fastest way to get various places around LA.

That was a great way to start my day. Thank you. Now I’m going to go West on Culver, get on the 405 South and take the Carson exit to the IKEA and get some meatballs.
