Independent rock bands and bloggers say they plan to participate, too. The push comes as Congress prepares to take up legislation this month that would give DC a full vote in the House. On DCist.com, a Web site about the city, bloggers have rallied support for the march by posting frequent countdown reminders. And a group of local independent bands are doing their part with the Indie Roots DC Voting Rights Tour. The bands are holding five concerts along the East Coast before returning to DC to rock at Monday's rally. They plan a nationwide tour later in the year.
