Santa Cruz Indymedia | Anti-War | Arts + Action | Global Justice and Anti-CapitalismSanta Cruz Last Night DIY Parade
Hundreds of people marched down Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz on December 31st, 2007, as part of the Last Night DIY Celebration while hundreds of spectators lined the sidewalks and cheered. The Last Night DIY Parade and Street Party is a do-it-yourself, unpermited, decentralized, grassroots and open New Year's Eve celebration with a focus on self-reliance. It is not only a celebration, but a celebration of the power we all have when we gather together to make something happen.  last-night_12-31-07.jpg For more information, please see:

thank you as always Bradley for the wonderful photos and titles! - including the many of the Silent Peace Walk!
there were many new people this year who joined in the Peace Walk at the beginning of the Parade, and they commented on how profound it was to have all the people become silent all the way up the Avenue as we walked by, and to return our upraised hand signs of Peace - some even very quietly thanked us for our presence as we processed by a VERY BIG THANKS to Wes and to all the organizers who have persevered in this wonderful community event! - Shanna McCord, Sentinel reporter, even said to me that it seemed to be becoming a "tradition in the city"!!!!!!! May 2008 be the Year that We See an Everlasting Peace! |
