On my lunch break, I passed by the public safety building where at least three dozen people are currently protesting.

I haven’t seen anything on the news, but the 13WHAM truck was definitely there, so I’m looking at them for an update. . .
September 26, 2008, 11:08 am Protest on Wall StreetIt’s gone viral. An email sent out by one passionately enraged man has spread all over the Internet and there appears to be a gigantic protest scheduled, dumping garbage in the middle of Wall Street. The article doesn’t say when, though. . .
September 4, 2008, 11:20 am Pure RageMinneapolis has been the site of some of the most intense protesting America has seen in a long time. Video shot from amongst the protesters getting hit with tear gas and shock grenades recalls images more familiar in France or Russia than in the United States.
And Rage Against the Machine has done it’s part to incite its fans to protest, as well. They first tried to play an impromptu performance outside the RNC that was dispersed by police. And last night, their concert ended in another spontaneous protest in the streets of Minneapolis.
Take it for what it’s worth. But personally, I think change requires many levels of pressure to accomplish.
