According to NBC News, “Saturday’s ‘March for Truth’ will include speeches from Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks and Javier Muñoz, the star of Hamilton, among other actors and musicians. Members of Congress will address several rallies, including Texas Rep. Al Green, who has been one of the most outspoken voices calling to impeach Trump.”

NBC quoted Sean Eldridge, the founder of Stand Up America, saying “Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress need to know that we won’t let this issue get swept under the rug, and that’s why thousands of Americans across the country will be marching to demand the truth.”

“The special counsel is an important step, but we still need an independent commission to expose the full truth of Russia’s attack on our democracy to make sure it never happens again,” Eldridge added.

Stand Up America is one of the groups sponsoring the March for Truth.

Other groups sponsoring the March for Truth are MoveOn and the Working Families Party, Swing Left, Flippable, and the TownHall project.
