“the commons is back”
FROM A COMRADE
the process of doing a human mic can feel like, “a way of feeling words move within you, to make others’ words inhabit your own vocal chords and nervous system.”
Hear, hear! FYI all (or most) of the issues of the Oscar Grant Plaza Gazette are online, at occupyoakland.org, under
Open Forum: Reflections…probably will be more clear soon on the web. We’re working on it. Spanish version of the Gazette coming any day now, and past issues will be archived/posted in Spanish! Sorry for today’s issue’s ugliness…it’s a copy shop.

embraces
the miner’s glance
