‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR SEPTEMBER 4, 2026: Thousands Rally to ‘Defend the Vote’ at the 63rd Anniversary of the National March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. We Hear from Speakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Attorney Ben Crump
Friday, 4 September, 2026
As the Trump Administration and the U.S Supreme Court continue to gut voting rights laws, thousands gathered on August 28, 2026 at the Lincoln Memorial to mark the 63rd anniversary of the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Under the slogan, ‘Defend the Vote,’ the march lifted up the promise that voters can elect politicians who will put the needs of working people above the priorities of corporations and oligarchs. We hear from several speakers at the march, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Janeese Lewis George, Democratic nominee for mayor of the District of Columbia. The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
