MayDay in Berkeley - Reclaim the Streets.
This is edited video of the 2003 May Day Reclaim the Streets walk through downtown Berkeley and the south-of-campus area. It has already been covered as photojournalism on indybay, and this primarily serves to add the soundtrack, and also helps convey the size of the large group of residents and students who joined in. It seemed appropriate to share as a flashback in time because lots of participants thought this was fun, and there was no damage done, and little conflict with traffic at this late hour.
This was a festive and relatively mellow mayday celebration which employed more of a Walpurgisnacht theme, rather than becoming an overtly political demonstration. There was music, walking, sterno candles, and a may-pole which involves a weaving dance with streamers.
