37. collectively we are paralyzed

we need workshops... we need to work together

my first protest was 1970 at the Lansing, MI Capital Building... plenty since

being in the streets is not the be all/end all but it sure motivates and encourages further action... I don't believe we should (or can to be safe) wait until 2020....
