Re: Audio coverage of Troops out march and street occupation

This report really captured the exciting confrontational spirit and militant feel of this demonstration. The youth action was great and lasted for hours. There was far more participation of people of color maybe because TONC put more emphasis on the 'war at home' - Jena 6, Katrina, raids on immigrants, lack of healthcare.
The traditional, staid anti-war movement sure needs to change. Size whether a 100,000 or a million means little if there is no challenge, no confrontation and no connections to repression and racism here,

Re: Re: Audio coverage of Troops out march and street occupation

It lasted for a few hours on a weekend, it seemed like it was youth and students relaxing and having fun for a bit then getting bored and going home. They needed to be more dedicated and stay out there much longer because a weekend evening on capitol hill, not much is happening, now if you went and blocked up georgetown lets say that would be a prime target mostly rich folks in a very ritzy part of town. Though for the spontinaeity of the action it was good but with a bit of planning you could pull off something great. you just have to figure out shifts that way people can sleep and people are still up to watch the everything and there is enough people that if there is another action going on people can disperse and still have enough people to hold down the "fort"
