Hello Alberta and List,

On the night of August 10th here in Vancouver several hundred students, 
working 
people, unemployed people, children, activists, union 
representatives, a few academics, and 
some lawyers too, took to the streets with torches and banners and bull 
horns and had a wonderful 
time chanting Free Mumia among other things! We got soaked and we had a 
bonfire (not too big) in the 
middle of a downtown intersection. It was an illegal march (a.k.a. civil 
disobedience). Actions continue through the coalition. 
Just thought I'd write this here since so little that happens around the 
demos for Mumia gets into the press locally.
