We Are One: Nationwide Rallies for Worker's Rights



In the Oakland sunshine at lunchtime on Monday, union folks and their allies came out in full-force for a rally at city hall.   Even though I wasn't there for long, the people power invigorated my whole body and spirit!


If that was only a fraction on the Madison, Wisconsin protests, I can't imagine how exhilarating it all must have been there.  


It hammered home for me the power and joy of working people when they are united for the livelihood of all.  It was a beautiful and powerful thing to witness.  Now I get why the right-wingers are so afraid of unions. :)
