Driving back from Pittsburgh last Saturday it was good to see that at least one newspaper printed an article about the peaceful protest the day before, rather than focusing on the violence of the anarchist regime.
Late on Friday morning we gathered on the lawn on the Carnegie-Mellon Campus to join forces with environmentalists, woman’s rights activists, etc.
Drummers rally the activists on Carnegie-Mellon Campus
Environmental activists spoke out against the corporate enslavement of natural resources
One of the AU resistance group's banners that we handed out to protestors
With a loud drumroll and barking megaphones the procession began
Environmentalists lead the procession
The march lead us past the decrepit buildings of old Pittsburgh. With the industry gone, the city was dying.
"People before Profit"- a common slogan among protestors
Various Woman's Rights organizations involved themselves in the protest
The procession increased as we reached the downtown rally.
Costumes and statements about the world situation resounded in the streets
There should have been more children in the march, but there were still many to be found

Finally got around to catching up on the blogs. This sounds like a great experience. I’m increasingly curious to see how all of your different interests — anthropology, politics, etc… — can inform your artwork.
