S26: 400 Turn Out in Washington, DC for S26 Solidarity Action
Around 400 people, most of them union members and activists who were involved in last Spring's protests of the World Bank/IMF, braved the early morning drizzle to rally in support of local parking lot attendents who are trying to unionize. The boisterous picket stretched an entire city block in downtown D.C., on L St. NW, between 19th and 20th. At one point, around 35 activists ran into the street and sat down to form a line of bodies that blocked the street. The police shut down L St. during the height of rush hour traffic. The 35 were eventually arrested and transported away. The action ended in a brief rally a short time later. Your webmaster was grabbed by a cop when he briefly blocked the entrance to a parking garage. You webmaster pulled himself free and went on to heckle D.C. Police Chief Carles Ramsey, who was overseeing the police actions, with slogans like "Chief Ramsey, where's your bike?" and "Chief Ramsey, anarchists never forget."

There are several reasons why there aren't more anti-capitalists in Prague. The main protests are on Tuesday, so more folks are on the way. The other reason is that thousands of people have been stopped at the border.

They were wrong: Greenpeace's action was vandalism and inhibited the need for scientific research
Dawkins is part of the capitalist scientific community which studiously avoids any discussion of the social and ethical responsibilities of scientists. He is also complicit in a profession that only invites one side to major science conferences. If these pro-biotech scientists are TRULY interested in research for its own sake (and not the profits of their emplyres) they'd invite anti-biotech activists AND SCIENTISTS to their meetings.
