Loading ...After wrangling with several potential dates, organizers have finally settled on July 12th as the date that the Revolution March in Washington DC will occur. Their website states that Ron Paul has confirmed he will be able to attend on the date chosen, and he will be the keynote speaker for the rally which will occur after the march itself.
Many have signed onto the project so far, and by all appearances, it looks to be much more organized than the April 15th march. Though it is taking longer to put together then April 15th, this is exactly what is needed - a deliberate and careful organization in order to maximize its success. Its timing is also much better, as it will be a Saturday during the summer; much easier for more people to attend.
At this early stage, specific details and times have yet to be mapped out, but the events will begin with a march through the streets of D.C. that will lead to the west side of the Capitol building. There, the march will turn to a political rally. Outside of Ron Paul, it is not known who will be speaking as of yet, but information will undoubtedly come to light as the event nears.
If you want to become involved, either in planning or simply in planning to attend, there is a page where you can join the project. And of course, if you have any additional questions not answered here or on their site, you can contact their site administrator at organizer@revolutionmarch.com.

I was under the impression that the march is June 21st and I haven’t ever heard anything otherwise… I haven’t even heard who was organizing it, and I heard that Ron Paul and/or his campaign legally could not organize it…. So, how do I know that this is definitely the real date, because right now it seems like there are 2 or 3 different marches being planned and no one is aware of it.

That was initially the plan, and that is the site that was set up specifically for what was intended to be the June 21st march. However, that date was always only a tentative one. When they were unable to get a permit for that day, they had to go with a later date, and managed to get a permit for July 12th.

There was also the April 15th rally put on by the Granny Warriors, but that one has come and gone. As far as I know there were only ever these two planned.
