Voices from the March (Stockton)

On Monday, the core marchers participated in a Townhall in Stockton at Central United Methodist Church. It was arranged by Rev. Been, Rev. Logan and other CLUE laity. Rev. Been gave a moving prayer vigil and cut a symbolic safety net. She talked about how a budget should be moral and when ordinary Californians are just being cut and tossed to the ground, that's wrong.

On Saturday, we marched around 12 miles from Manteca to Stockton. As Sacramento draws closer, I've started work on a final 10 minute video that tries to encapsulate our incredible 48-day journey. There's seemingly an infinite number of angles from which to create a story because we have crossed paths with so many people in so many places. One way to kind of wrap my way around this experience has been to divide the march into different themes. One theme is "sounds," the different sounds of the march.
