I agree with you as far as you went. Last October's Million Worker March in D.C. did in fact leave a sort of legacy. Here in Detroit we have a small core of marchers who formed a MWM-Detroit committee which is engaged in some good local stuff. Our major focus is Detroit: a city near bankruptcy, with major lay-offs, whose assets continue to be plundered by capital. MWM-Detroit holds forums and participates with other working class-based groups in anti-capital, anti-imperial protests. It's not a big deal yet, but there is potential.

Other places have local MWM committees, and there is some kind of national coordinating body, though we don't know a lot about non-Detroit activities and structures. We'll learn more on May 14-15 when Detroit will host a national MWM get-together that should bring folks together from both coasts and points in between for a National Reportback & Networking Meeting with the purpose of "Building the Movement."
