I plan to be there. Mind you, I work right next door to it all, so its
less sweat off my nose than for most other ppl :)

As for ProgSoc getting students involved, I think it's a great idea for
students to use us as way of organising themselves to get together for
the march. Just be sure to say hello when you get there!

But if you're thinking of the idea of going around saying "Hi I'm
from ProgSoc and we're going to march on Parliament House, would
you like to join us?" then I'd hesitate to agree: politics isn't really
our thing IMHO (even if it is for a good cause).

And while the SA and NUS are less afraid of being political than we are,
I'm not sure if it's their kind of thing either. Never hurts to ask
tho.
