This was great, but we need to keep the momentum rolling. If anyone has ideas i would love to hear them so i can start organizing the next step in NYC.

Wow! Nice work, SDS!! George Mason U, thanks for stepping up. I'm a GMU alumni who helped organize campus protests in the early 70's, and I am happy to see the movement didn't die. Cheers!

That's a good news. The event is a success. I guess I need to suggest this idea to our teacher.
