SF Federal Night Camp - Beautiful!!!
What a great thing this has been . . . .
I don't yet know how to take night shots, but I liked how some of these came out anyway. It was an AMAZING experience!!! I got there around 9 and stayed until 1, then will be going back at 7am for the action . . .
Lots of people paused to remark to me - as I taped streamers around the building - how great the action was and how important it was, taxi drivers, older people, people who had had too much to drink, activists, etc.
Everything was spontaneous. For a long time the news vans kept everything lit up with their lights, but it was actually nicer without those.
It's hard to do this, being cold and tired, but it's so important right now to send this message. And it was also one of those life experiences that may never happen again, like walking into the huge field at the Franti Concert and turning to someone else who had the same look on their face, and we both smiled at each other and I said - "I think we've found mecca!!"
If you care at all, and have any time, please come to the Federal Building and show support, for those who will choose to take action at 7am tomorrow, and no doubt, later too.
