Day 35 of mass protests in US......is the MSM covering any of it???
Definitely notable. 35 straight days of protest, mostly under the rubric of Ferguson, and justice.
Protests not only in NYC, but other cities, AND in other countries.
And very well coordinated.
Twitter and Facebook is where the information, news and communication is happening.
The intertubes have changed the face of revolution.
Edited to add:
Excellent summation of the new protest movement here, and why it is different than the movements of the 60's/70's.
The Birth of a New Civil Rights Movement
2014 was an epochal year for social justice. 2015 could be even more dramatic.
