the protests are only a piece of the movement
you gotta place yourself IN the movement by networking and understanding the goals
and find out who is working towards what.
the fact of the matter is your voice is just as important as any 'leaders' voice
and that's the point of their not being one leader of the whole movement.

i personally have not been to any of the marches or protests bc i'm not
really into that level of protest at this stage of my life
(having a kid i've decided i'm better suited using my music as activism and supporting
those who are protesting etc. by donating where i can and spreading the word.
i personally don't want to risk injury, death or arrest when i'm the only
one available to raise my child right now)

through twitter i have been connected with a few folks who are on the ground
and they are indeed making connections with folks nationwide and internationally
trying to exact change.

for example today in the bay area several different groups, representing all walks of life
are protesting in oakland. you can follow @mrdaveyd right now to see his breakdown of what is currently happening there.
