DEL.ICIO.USBack on the bus
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You may think that after sine die, we’re kicking back. But we never sleep.
No, seriously.
At the moment, we’re on a bus with a group of Rainbow-Push volunteers, riding through the night to New Orleans for the “Right to Return” march to be led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
That’s got us thinking again about that march last weekend which brought a half-million Latinos into the streets of Los Angeles. There are going to be big demonstrations in New Orleans and Atlanta this weekend, but nothing on the scale of the demonstrations waged to protest more restrictive immigration laws. We wonder: are we seeing the dawn of new era in protest politics?
More from the Big Easy when we get there.
