| The best reply to the attacks is more people |

The Egyptian Government attacked protesters at Tahir Square and cleared out hundreds.
And then thousands came.

| 3. They will, that's what happened in NY. In fact some of the other |
|
groups around the country should start planning on travelling to areas where the protesters are being abused by police so that they know when they do it, their cities will be descended upon by even more people.
People will donate to make that possible. They are not having any problems getting donations, it's amazing really. For all the people on the streets, there are probably tens of thousands more and growing each day, who are supporting them in other ways.
They now need to develop a strategy to deal with these events. In NY from the beginning, they had legal advice so when the police tried to remove them from Liberty Plaza, lawyers came down to deal with the situation and it turned out they could not be removed. At first they thought they would have to find another location. So if Boston doesn't have lawyers, they need to get some. And the ACLU has been involved, pro bono in NY I believe, also.

who never has done a protest before (even though he was a teen in '68), but this is too important for him not to attend!

write your feelings on a peice of cardboard, find the others, and talk to people. If passersby want to know why you are standing there, tell them.
it really is THAT simple!
edit-if righties got aggressive and tell me to get a job?-"its ok, I already have 2" If they give you the finger, give them 2 back (peace sign) :-)
