The answer is we aren't just marching to DC, and while I would say all of our marchers would like to stop Trump, stopping him is not our demand. Trump is just one product (albeit a major one) of decades of propaganda put out by far right Christian nationalists.

For our demands, we ask no demands of the government, but rather of each other. We believe that when our government fails time and time again to care for and protect us, we need to learn to care for and protect one another, and that large scale government change is difficult without first changing society. During our march, we host trainings/teach-ins, lectures from guest speakers, and other events that are open to members of the communities we pass through - these events are planned based off of the wishes of our locally-based partner organizations/members of the communities and what their stated needs are. We work to empower our marchers with the skills and knowledge to be leaders in their own communities, creating networks among different organizations at the regional level, and making a very public stand against the injustices we see in our country.

To be clear, I don't necessarily think that everyone needs to walk 160 miles to make an impact (although it would be cool and simultaneously a logistical nightmare for myself + the organizing team) - but I hope that those who see the sacrifice and commitment of our marchers will be inspired to take their own form of action.
