Two Weeks in Madison...and Counting



This video makes me cry every time I watch it. No matter what the outcome of these protests, I have been blessed to witness the beauty and dignity of a mass of people joining with each other for a greater good.

I sat on the floor in the Capitol last Saturday, nursing a headache and middle-aged knees. Thousands started shouting, and I could feel every voice soak into my body, absorbed from the marble on which I was sitting. I closed my eyes for a moment and wept.

"THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!"
