Protest photos here.
I'm really amazed at how well it went. Very smooth, very peaceful - hardly any heckling, none that I personally witnessed, and no incidents at all. Everyone was pumped up and it was a wonderful atmosphere. Lots of support from people driving by!
The only annoying thing was, in those photos where we're lining the street? A bunch of people kept crossing back and forth against the light. Guys, I know we're protesting, but last I checked, we kind of like traffic laws. They are in place for good reason! Let's keep following them.
Started checking all the news channels at 5:00. XD Channel 3 and (to my astonishment) Fox 10 gave us some pretty fair coverage! I was quite disappointed in CBS, though. They gave a lot of airtime to an interview with whatsisface Dwyer, talking about the Catholic church's support for the ban and why, and then finished up the segment with a fairly wishy-washy in context comment from a protester about how 102 got passed and how she thought it unfortunately came down to money. (The savvy observer will note how this left Dwyer's position unchallenged and didn't make us look too great.)
But overall it was a great event, I feel it was very successful and I was proud to have been involved, and I'll be glad to keep on with the activism. It feels good!
