First, let me say that I thought the demonstration was a huge success. A huge number of people came, and all of them left more energized than they came. That alone is a success. We saw our own numbers. We realized what a force we are. We made a lot of noise. We got a lot of attention, to spite the MSM. We hopefully succeeded in getting people involved in local organizing. We had a hell of a time.
This was definitely a victory. But a lot of people have been complaining about some of the details, about the speakers, about the mix of messages, about the lack of media attention, etc. Some of these are legitimate complaints. All of them are issues that we should look at more closely.
So, Lets talk about what worked and what didn't.
