I'm getting a lot of emails about todays march on Wall Street

[Renew Deal]

I've gotten emails from MoveOn, DFA, Greater NY for Change (Obama supporters), UFPJ, and local messages. Today's march could end up being the biggest yet if they can turn people out.

Hopefully the cops don't try to pen and arrest thousands of people.

1. If the jails overflow that will be a message in itself.

4. No doubt

From another thread:


"Remember, This movement is based on civil disobedience. Do not get penned up today. Do not be forced on the sidewalk. Take the streets, sit down, Disrupt traffic, be brave....Some advice from Naomi Klein..please protesters, I can't say this enough: "DO NOT MARCH. SIT DOWN or stand with linked arms. DO NOT JUST MARCH. I have studied protests for the last fifty years -- the ones that ended in state violence (they always win) are short and they MARCH. the ones that brought down regimes are LONG and STOP TRAFFIC and involve SITTING DOWN OR STANDING STILL WITH LINKED ARMS. They take patience." This is our moment. We are growing because we are resisting."

3. Any updates on the "virtual march" MoveOn is doing?

They said they'd have instructions this morning, but I haven't seen anything.
