RIGHT HERE ALL OVER
What I find so great about some demonstrations and protests, is that it involves a huge number of people from all over a country, who don't know each other, come from different backgrounds and jobs, coming together, united in their beliefs or views. And they get on, meet people they perhaps would never have encountered before. Having been on a few protests myself, I know that you can certainly meet some characters, but these individuals can be so inspiring in their enthusiasm for the cause! They can challenge you and present to you new ideas.
Another great thing about going to a protest is seeing all the home made banners. I love seeing how creative people can be when they are so passionate and pissed off.
The recent Occupy Wall Street event that took place in New York, is a great example of this. I found this video and I just love how a whole community has evolved and that there is a make shift media centre, made for anyone who wanted to create a film through out the week. This is inspiring stuff.
