Let's have a show of hands: Who went to a protest this weekend? |
|
Since I was in Austin TX I went with GOPisEvil to the protest they held downtown in Austin. Must say it was a nice change from the usual stuff we get in NYC/DC. The speakers were great and they had some great musical performances. Probably a couple of 1000 there.

2. I was in Central Park NYC |
|
Couldn't get to Harlem in time for the march, so I went straight to the park. It was dismaying sparsely populated, but the marchers showed up about half an hour, much to my relief! about 2-3000 turnout, I'd say. Pics tonight!

Here in Pittsburgh-lots of fun, much positivity. Oddly enough, alomost no harrassment from Freeper types-a lot less than previous. The tide is turning!

It was a beautiful day for it up until 3:30 or so when the clouds rolled in and it started getting chilly.
But Howard Zinn spoke which was a pleasant surprise :).

The Boston Common rally cited by ET Awful. Couple thousand, I'd say, and (incredibly) reported as such by the SCLM.

10. My grandson and I in Austin. We were at the tail end of the |
|
line. Where were the rest of you? My 3 year old gson was fascinated with the bushsnake. He loved the drums and wants to bring his the nest time. We had a great time.
