Get your protest on
Feb. 26th, 2011 05:57 pmI went to the protest for an hour in cold and snowy weather; I stood with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cabell and laceblade to hear Bradley Whitford and Gabrielle Carteris speak. They talked about being a part of actor's unions and Brad spoke about being from Madison and gave a shout-out to East High School students who walked out of school. Gabrielle said she was paralyzed doing a movie and it was her union who helped her. A physics prof from UW-La Crosse spoke to say that they just voted to unionize in support of this effort.
There were many good signs, I am uploading some photos to Flickr as I write this. There were also some signs in very bad taste, including several calling Walker a "Koch whore". I said to laceblade, "I see no reason to disparage whores! The working girls could benefit from unions."
I also overreacted and yelled at a man telling us to cross the street while we waited for a cop to direct us. Perhaps I'm wound a little tight. "I think it's OK to over-react to mansplainers," laceblade reassured me. I've been fighting on Facebook again too! I need to chillax.
