Rally!

After work today I went to the big pro-immigrant rally. What a scene. There were so many people and so much energy! I met up with Joanna and her coworker and a moment later with Aerob. The rest of the crowd more than made up for our -- or at least my -- le tiredness. And we totally stopped the bad legislation in its tracks. For sure.

At Brodway and Leonard -- among other places -- the NYPD was forcing folks to squeeze through a very narrow spot between the metal barricades and the buildings, completely disrupting the march. At some of the intersections the barricades were set so that they could sometimes let cars cross Broadway, but in this case, it was just barricaded on four sides. Jerks.

But look who emerged -- an amazing drumming group! They were like eight leagues above us. They sounded amazing. And they had a trumpet.
