The Occupy Movement needs to take a lesson from the Anti-Prop-8 Protests.

I remember going on the 7+ mile march through SF on the Saturday after the elections in 2008, to protest the passage of Prop 8. Countless people took part in similar protests on the same day over the world. The protests were peaceful, they went off without a hitch, and they helped the cause. No one occupied any buildings. No one fought with police. No one broke into city halls and burned the flags within.


Most Americans support standing against corporate rapaciousness, Wall St. criminality, exploding income inequality, and the loss of the American dream. But it's time to start moving back to traditional peaceful protests. The Anti-Prop-8 protests provide a perfect model. Be peaceful. Respect the law. Get your message out....respectfully.

K&R if you agree.

2. How can I agree when Prop 8 passed? Poor example, unless your point is that the

7 mile walk was good for one's health. What did the march change? Not the result of the election. So why is it the perfect model?

3. Well I think the ocuppy movement is the perfect model....

4. Prop 8 passed. Is it still law or not?

I don't think that the anti-Prop 8 marches are a model for a successful anything.
