This has been so inspiring - possible to feature on indymedia?
The feature story will hopefully go up later tonight if all goes well. Though people don't seem to realize that creating a feature story is not the easiest thing and that once it is created it must be updated to some degree each day based on changing situations...and things are changing all the time in regards to the plans of the people working on the Fast 4 Education. I spent all night last night working on coverage of this ongoing story and spent all the morning and most of the day with the fasters, trying to ensure that the City of Oakland would not follow through on previous threats and helping to take of their basic needs currently organizing wise and personally. Both Indybay and the Fast 4 Education could use volunteer organizers to help them bottom line essential things, and I have been straddling that line as an activist and a media maker. So please have patience and everything will work out and I will be able to at least post an update with pictures of Dolores Huerta's visit today and hopefully be able to create a feature with the help of organizers that are working on the Fast 4 Education.
