Stay tuned in the next couple weeks for announcements on rally location, march route, and confirmed speakers.
FWIW, it seems pretty unlikely that you could make it to the rally without leaving a trail. If you drive, you'll probably get scanned by a license plate reader. If you bring your phone, you'll be tracked, if you use a credit card, that'll be recorded, and in DC you'll probably walk in front of a security camera that is or will be connected to a facial recognition system.
I completely understand your hesitation, and I can't say that I haven't thought twice before saying certain things since the Snowden revelations. A lot of people have declined to sign up for the Restore the Fourth NYC email list because they don't want to "end up on a list."
The way I see it, we have two choices; we can accept a world in which we are afraid to take political actions (like RSVP'ing to a rally or putting an email address down on a clipboard), or we can scream from the rooftops that we're not going to allow that world to come about. If enough of us take the second route, we'll win; if too many take the first route, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
