Why the word "small" before action on 12 midday Saturday. We need to get out of the ghettoes and build Saturday actions as widely as possible. As WIDELY as possible

Very nice... but we still need to get out onto the streets! Mass Civil Rights Action Now! If we don't stand up and fight for our rights, the government will continue to take them from us.
