So far, there are plans for a "People's Gala" opening event on the night of the 19th (concert/cultural event + speakers, etc) and the date set for the major rally/march is the 20th. There are also a lot of groups working together to coordinate teach-ins, conferences, smaller actions and events throughout the week (Nov. 17-22).
