Although there was rather little notice ahead of time, Moveon.org's rallies across the country were pretty successful today. I cruised up to Lansing w/ Charles, Brian, and Abby to join about 2,000 people on the steps of the capitol building to show support for the workers in Wisconsin & to voice opposition to Snyder's attacks on state workers and unions in Michigan. Of course, there was also an air of solidarity w/ the people around the world who have been marching, protesting, & fighting over the last month. Dare I say that the feeling of revolution is palpable? I think it really is. We'll see how long it lasts though. We had a fun time & hopefully these rallies will continue; maybe next time, y'all can come along & bring a friend.Here are links to The Free Press & Lansing State Journal articles about it from today.
