In anticipation of its final steps into Washington DC, and thus the formal closing to the March of the People action, march organizers have announced a formal route into the Nation's Capital. This route is called "The Final 9."

It will begin at the intersection of Baltimore Ave. and Regents Dr, adjacent to Chapel Fields, on the University of Maryland College Park campus. Walkers are asked to congregate at 7:00 AM on Sept. 11. Step-off is at 7:30 AM.

The march will follow an 8.75-mile course along Baltimore Ave./Rhode Island Ave. The march will turn left at Scott Circle, onto 16th St. NW, and follow 16th St. to Lafayette Park, where it will end in a formal rally.

Cross-country walkers Mario Penalver and Elliott Nesch will be guest speakers.

March of the People is encouraging all citizens who would like to participate in "The Final 9" to congregate at Chapel Fields, at the University of Maryland in College Park, at 7:00 AM, on Sept. 11, 2007.

Join cross-country walkers Elliott Nesch, Mario Penalver and Gordy Heuer, as they make their final steps in a nearly half-year journey.

Join them, and make your step one step closer to Justice.
