I didn't have time to miss her, though. I was too busy. We had a legal observer training this evening. Nineteen people turned up, which was great. The trainers were pretty good, too, though I felt like Anais was playing up the "I'm hardcore, getting arrested is scary but I do it" line, which is unfortunate. Much better is to point out that: (1) if you're trying to avoid arrest, you almost always can; (2) in the off chance that you are arrested at a demonstration it is uncomfortable, but you'll live; and (3) if you're trying to avoid arrest, the arrest is probably unjustified anyway and you'll get off with no charges at all. But nineteen is a great turnout. Wow. I was so pleased.

This weekend is the Million Worker March, so hopefully we'll get some folks out to LO at that and cut their teeth on it so we can send them off to smaller demos later.
