Cindy Said

March 25, 2010

Washington DC, during the 7th commemoration of the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, Cindy reminded thousands of the gathered peoples of the Homeland, that marching in a circle is not enough.

We must be ready to throw our bodies upon the gears of the machine.

Why, when the barrier was compromised, did more people not follow us to actually put their beliefs into higher relief than merely marching in a circle on Saturday? While we were being (tightly) handcuffed and loaded onto the hot paddy wagon, the crowd of on-lookers chanted, “This is what hypocrisy looks like.”

I was, to say the least, very disheartened that hundreds of people didn’t join us. Watching the video of my ‘crossing over,’  you can see a couple of people go over and then run back when the police come—but most of the people step back like the downed barrier is a livewire.”

Whose streets?

Apparently the streets are only “ours” when we have a permit–god forbid we take them when the event is not permitted by the Police State!

We’ll figure it out some day Cindy.  The active, the apathetic and even the pretenders.

Keep fighting.
