Kudos to those who organized and participated in the feeder marchers and other related actions. A number of us proposed and adopted these very same strategies independent of the main organizing in previous years with much success. Happy to see that local organizers have finally realized that creativity, decentralization and genuine community/organizational autonomy is far superior to the same old strategies employed in previous years.

And please stop applauding the same individuals year after year and realize that without the masses none of your efforts would amount to much. Permits, sound equipment, press work, and other logistical concerns are important components to a demonstration but it's the issues in question and the people out in the streets organizing each and every day in their schools, workplaces and communities that really make shit happen. In spite of ongoing efforts to immortalize "leaders" throughout history it was, still is, and always will be the people who drive social change.
