| Naresh -- In just a few hours, President Obama will be speaking from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's famed speech at the March on Washington. Trust me, you don't want to miss this. Attend our interactive livestream of the President's speech -- starting at 2:45 p.m. Eastern Time -- and join the national discussion today. Over the next few months, we're going to have many fights on the issues you and I care so much about. Today's anniversary reminds me that anything worth having has never come easy -- real change comes when the people who want it come together to make it a reality. That's why Organizing for Action is here, after all.
