I think we got their attention. This was the biggest march I've ever been in. We couldn't all fit outside Westlake Center -- I have no idea how many other people went indoors to get lunch and bathroom breaks like we did, but it was lots. I talked to one of my students, and we kept meeting other people marzipan_pig knew, who had been at the rally at Volunteer Park, too, and we hadn't run into them at all. By the time we reached Westlake, I could barely see the end of the march up on the hill -- maybe six blocks away -- and we were maybe a third of the way back from the front. Couldn't hear a bit of the speeches, but it was tremendous. The cops estimate 3000 people marched, and there were a whole lot of sympathizers on the sidelines too. (Well, we did go through Capitol Hill for the most part.) So great!
