A worldwide protest for the people! I don't know that this has ever happened before. Not for a living wage. I know it has in protest against war but never something like this. I love it!

Kick and recommend big time!

Signed!

leaving for SDSU for the rally. I will be taking, if hubby is not coming, the trolley. 2000 plus are expected.

Nope, hubby is not, he is not feeling well. So off to the trolley... this should be fun.

attendance, anywhere from 1250 to 1500. We were having that debate. It was all but shabby for this town. My friend, over the last two years I have seen these events slowly grow. Today it was not just labor. Slowly the coalition for social and economic justice is building. I also heard talk of oligarchy, and how we need to restore democracy.

Now I have a story to write, and sound to cull, but those quotes are definitely going into the story. It was one of those moments where echoes of multiple periods of history were coming, Not just the 1930s, but MLK, that is due to one of our local activists.

I thought you would like to know.
