NAN Chapter Mobilization

Chapter Leaders,
Let's Move.

We are returning to the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington: Defend the Vote in Washington, D.C. on Friday, August 28th. We are gathering not to remember history, but to shape the future together.

Co-chaired by Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, and Arndrea Waters King, this mobilization is a Black led, interfaith, inter-generational coalition rooted in the belief that our collective voting rights, equal opportunities, affordability, and economic dignity are worth showing up for.

Hosted by the National Action Network
& the Drum Major Institute

The Purpose of This Mobilization

Our Collective Response

We are returning to Washington because of the immediate rollbacks across the country. This gathering is our collective response to:

Defending the Vote

Organizing for true civic equity, ensuring equal ballot access, and expanding community-led voter education across every generation.

Protecting Equal Opportunity

Constructing a future where fair wages, equal opportunity, and sustainable livelihoods are recognized as foundational civil rights.

Demanding Economic Dignity

Ensuring every community has direct, unimpeded access to life's essentials: safe housing, reliable healthcare, and nourishing food.

Tending to Our Logistics

Collective Registration

To ensure our gathering is safe, accessible, and welcoming for everyone, from our youth organizers to our veteran elders, understanding our numbers helps us take care of one another on the ground.

Whether you are traveling as an individual, carpooling, or coordinating a charter bus, please take a moment to share your travel plans on our central network tracker. If you have neighbors or elders who do not use the internet, sitting with them to add their names ensures everyone is included.

Opens the official National Action Network registration form in a new tab.

For Bus Coordinators: The official website has a dedicated Buses section. Logging your local bus details and expected passenger counts there helps our logistics teams prepare the ground for smooth arrivals. Go to the Buses section →

Because this movement unfolds in real time, schedules, logistics, and accessibility updates will be added to marchonwashington2026.com as they are finalized. Checking back often helps keep local networks informed.
