As a sort of parody response to Glenn Beck's recent Restoring Honor Rally, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hosting gatherings in Washington DC on 10/30/10. As Jon puts it, "Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point."
The awesome thing is that the whole thing started as a result of an offhand comment someone made on Reddit but then sparked into this giant movement that ultimately resulted in this. It's awesome, and I'm really, really excited. :D
