from sewing costumes to paint filled balloons, folks came out to dissent to the U.S. empire in so many ways. who was it that said that the role of the artist (meaning everyone in my book cause we all make art in one way or another) is to make revolution irresistible?

activist, writer, and performance artist reading his poem
these guys were making it obvious what they were willing to do for cash
Pigeons Engaged Against Capitalist Empire!
this balloon exploded almost over my head. i was lucky to have been there at the right time to get this photo.
at the consulate, Jewish and Palestinian women moved us with their words of anger and hope
the cops moved and surrounded the folks in the street after they terrorize by-standers and banner holders
this was the beginning of the noon die in. a procession went to all corners on the intersection and then went to the into the middle where people laid down.
Daniel released "The Pentagon Papers" in 1971 exposing the government's inhumane stance towards both U.S. soldiers and the Vietnamese people, worked for the RAND Corporation, and served in the military.
this cat was blatantly dragged into the fray where the arrests were happening by a cop for no reason at all. he was trying to get out of the street at the time.
earlier in the day at the noon die in, i watched this veteran get arrested. later, she's at the march in a truck, draped in (i think) a U.S. flag upside down and a peace sign flag. other vets were there as well.
a good friend of mine, marching with Babae, "babae (Tagalog for "woman") is a women's organization that serves to address the rights and welfare of Filipinas in the San Francisco Bay Area." http://www.babaesf.org
at one point in the later march, the cops tried keep us from going where we wanted. so we sat down in the street until they turned their dirt bikes away. i'd say about 50+ folks sat down together on mission street!
