Yesterday was supposed to be some "work stoppage walkout between 2 and 3" protest. That was easy; my work was stopped already.
Separately, there was a rally in Boston at 5 PM. So I decided to go to the square dance on Tuesday (which I rarely attend) and go to the rally beforehand. It was pretty well attended for being 20° and dropping; I would guess 500-1000? They had a bunch of speakers, two of whom were high school students who had participated in the walkout. Apparently hundreds of high school students walked out. The school administration was not supportive, and they were irritated about that fact. One of them spoke quite well. At 6 PM we marched from Copley Place to Boston Common shouting various slogans as usual. Then I took the T to MIT for the dance and had a good time.
Best sign: "the wrong ice is melting; the wrong Amazon is burning"
