Mosey on over there to read about The NYC Protest and Civil Rights March Opposing Proposition 8. AP’s early estimates: several hundred. By the end of the night, updated to: 10,000.  

I know, I know: there have been crowds that size in LA and San Diego.  And we expect oodles and oodles of people to come out this Saturday, November 15, COAST TO COAST.  Round about 10:30am PST (11:30 Mountain, 12:30 Central, 1:30 Eastern), at a city hall near you.  Check  your nearest location here.

What’s nice about this one is: other side of the country.

    I was there! Didn’t realize the crowd was so big.

    I’ll be attending the Prop 8 protest here in Kansas City. So far, over 500 people have pledged attendance.

    Everything’s up to date in Kansas City!

    (Sorry; couldn’t help myself. Yahoo, KC!)

    And wow, Strauss. From Towle’s account (and the multiple accounts he linked to) it looked really strong, really positive. And I’m sure from any given block it’s hard to tell what the total crowd is. Glad you were representing!

    I’ll be heading to our nearest rally in Cleveland, OH, tomorrow. I’m really glad you posted the link, or I wouldn’t even have known about it :)
