Too diffuse a message.
Been watching it come around for a while and I still can't figure it's purpose or goals.
Is social composition the goal?

I don't agree with the "more important" part, but it is sad that the MWM isn't getting more attention and support than it is. The impact of having a large, multiracial, class-centered march in DC could be enormous. What's the problem? Too black? Too working class? Too diffuse a message? Bad timing?
