We Did It!

01-19-03

I am as giddy as can be - the media is finally paying attention to the peace movement. Aidan and I were homebound yesterday - he even slept through the Hudson vigil, but in the early evening I went online to check news sites for information about the march yesterday and it was on the front page of every site I looked at. Aidan was sitting on my lap when I brought up CNN and I let out an "allright!" when I saw it and Aidan said, "we did it!" without even knowing what I was looking at. We just got back from the farm store where I saw that it is on the front page of the NEW YORK TIMES. Completely amazing. Of course the newspaper headcount and the organizer's headcount are wildly different, but the fact that it got that kind of mainstream media attention is a huge accomplisment. As we were driving home, Power to the People came on the radio. I know it was cold yesterday, every person who was there has my gratitude.
