The Millions More Movement will come to D.C. for a weekend of events Oct. 14-16. On Friday, Oct. 14, a Day of Absence will be observed. All people who can are asked to not go to work, school, businesses and sports and entertainment venues for this one day. It should be a day to look inward and focus on the meaning of the Millions More Movement and the necessity of spiritual and ethical grounding in our families, communities and organizations.

A mass assembly at the National Mall will be held on the following day, officially opening the Movement at 10 a.m., with pre-event activities as early as 6 a.m. A diverse group of national and international leaders will outline the significance and meaning of the Millions More Movement and lay the foundation for individual and organizations activities that will take the energy, spirit and intent of the day back to communities where the real work of the movement will be done.

On Sunday, Oct. 16, services of worship throughout the city will be observed, dedicated to spiritual renewal and revitalization. Early Sunday evening, a mass Unity Interfaith, Interdenominational Service will be held to set the tone and ignite the fire and spiritual energy of the movement.

"On behalf of the residents of our city, I am honored to share in the spirit of the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March," shared Mayor Anthony Williams during the press conference. As host mayor for the Commemoration, he said that he is looking forward to the Millions More Movement in October, which he expects to be "one of, if not the, largest event ever to take place" in the city.

What will make this Commemoration so large is that men, women and children will be attending this time—making the Movement more reflective of the condition of our people.

"Every issue that we talk about that African American men face, African American women and children face as well," Dr. Julianne Malveaux stressed to the audience. "There is a war on Black people. You cannot fight a war if you dismantle half of the army. So, the army is here, united, because Minister Farrakhan had the vision," she observed.

"We realize, again, that we must come forward every day and declare our commitment to assume a new and expanded responsibility to sustain a free and empowered community, a just and good society and a good and sustainable world," declared Dr.. Maulana Karenga in a poetic, powerful call for action. "We must be aware that we make this commitment in an era in which this is needed as never before and in which we cannot morally choose otherwise. I call on you to realize this means standing up, standing together as men and women, standing in practice and in principle, consciousness and commitment, standing together in harmony and unity as men and brothers, as women and sisters, and partners in loving struggle."
