people, today, across the US, there are marches and rallies for equal human rights. the events appear to be organized in a decentralized manner and are distributed across the north, south, east, and west regions of the united states. some estimates suggest that by the end of the day, 2 million people will march. in an attempt to preempt barry wellman questioning whether this is a relevant topic of internet research (!), let me say that much of this organization is happening with the help of digital media / social software, including social networking sites and good old fashioned web sites like this: http://www.cccaction.org/cccaction/april10_index.html some people are suggesting that this is the first significant US social movement since 9-11. whether or not that is true, it's fascinating to see that this is a social movement led by people of color. david silver http://silverinseattle.blogspot.com/
