Core leadership of the Poor People's March swelled to 100 as leaders from more than 30 Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign organizations arrived in Arlington in preparation for a march on the capitol which will include at least 1,000. Despite almost daily negotiations for more than a month, the March was only granted a 13-hour permit which will expire at 11:59 on the 23rd. Poor People's Campaign leadership is calling for volunteers to participate in and be witness to nonviolent civil disobedience on the National Mall at this time.

Marchers will meet at 10:00 in the Iwo Jima memorial parking lot in Arlington National Cemetary. From there they will march over the Key bridge into the capitol. They will participate in a civil rights rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and then move to the mall to set up Bushville.
