Just talked to the marchers and they are doing great. Today is a day off for the March for Democracy in Bakersfield. Tomorrow they resume the march and the plan is to arrive in Sacramento on June 22 and things ARE going according to plan.

They were also joined by Derek Cressman who is running for Secretary of State (against the bad news Senator Alex Padilla one of the 6 senators who scuttled Single Payer SB-810 in 2012). Derek spoke in the kickoff event and marched on the 1st day (I did too);
