You complan about media bias but of you can't get the media on board then your efforts to spread awareness through protest aren't going to reach beyond your own limited echo chamber. All this seems pretty poorly thought out and ineffective so will be largely futile.
Sure you'll go along, have your march and rally behind a few polemic speakers. Of you're really lucky you might get to anagonise the police (notably also undergoing cuts so well done for alienating your allies). But really, in the face of massive public indifference and apathy, all you end up doing is having a self-congratulatory back-slapping exercise. Ironically that's something really popular among the people you're protesting against.
It might be worth remembering that the Million Man March from which you've plagisrised your name went to great lengths ahead of the event to propogate a groundswell of popular social support. That was hugely important in the successes of the movement. Rocking up every year to have a protest simply isn't enough. Also not injuring horses factors in there quite highly too.
I predict that by the end of the weekend after the march you'll be forgotten save a few ASBOs being served. And then what? Sit on your hands until next year when you'll once again fail to make any meaningful difference. What's the point? Why are you bothering if you aren't going to get anywhere?
And these workimg class heroes of whom you speak. What exactly is it that they've done that's so heroic?
