I'm going to link to UFP again, OK?
I can't describe how it makes me feel to look at the
list of feeder marches for Saturday's protest. I don't know if I even need to go; just imagining how incredible this will be, with all the music and colors and puppets and people, makes me feel less hopeless. I can think of people I know who might be in any of these blocs. Last night at the milonga my tango teacher was wearing a February 15th button at her navel. Maybe she will be in the Performing Arts bloc, pulling off a spontaneous leap in the middle of a turn like she did yesterday.
I remember at one point in my first anti-globalization march looking back down a road and seeing a giant pig float and some others and banners and colors and just thinking This is so big, thank god this is so big and lighthearted and warm.
