Last Saturday's #NoBanNoWall protest. Around 25k people turned out in Copley Square. Several pirates turned out. We brought a banner, talked to a bunch of people. For events like these, would be nice to do up custom flyers. Steve will draft something. There's another rally happening this weekend, in Somerville: https://www.facebook.com/events/156443441518875/. | Last Saturday's #NoBanNoWall protest. Around 25k people turned out in Copley Square.

Cambridge allows all residents (including non-us citizens) to vote in local elections. Would be nice to see that spread to other municipalities. | |||
