There’s something happening here.

very exciting and i think what is different is that jane and glenn are bringing news from the street to a wider audience and in that way are providing a bridge from the activists to the mainstream. this is one of the things i have dreamed of for the blogosphere and today jane and glenn are making it happen.

all through this decade, democracy now!, indymedia, the nlg and various legal and media collectives have been on the streets reporting and documenting what was happening at protest events. but their information and reports for the most part never broke through to the wider non-street activist world. in fact, in 2003, after the police riot in miami during the FTAA protests, my first hand accounts of what happened were generally met with something between skepticism and disbelief in the blogosphere – even at sites like talkleft.

technology may have made what we are seeing today possible, but without jane and glenn i don’t think it would be happening now. many, many thanks to them.

Don’t know if you’re checking comments anymore but how can the rest of us hausfrau’s out here get the word out so that the MSM gets wind of this?

Yes, something is happening and thank you for keeping us informed. What kind of coordinated effort could be organized to get this out to a wider audience?
