Video: Highlights from an extraordinary rally

This is powerful stuff and edited beautifully. The video is from last week’s Eve of Justice candlelight rally and march in San Francisco  the evening before the CA Supreme Court heard the court case to invalidate Prop 8. Among the most inspiring speakers was Cleve Jones who was a close friend of Harvey Milk.

Here is part of what Cleve had to say:

“Those of you who are younger than me, I want you to go home tonight when we’re done marching and I want you to go online and I want you to study the history of non-violent,  direct action and civil disobedience because if you think you’re going to get your freedom by clicking a mouse or gong to some black tie dinner or marching in the streets, you are wrong.”

“It takes a lot more than that and it will require every one of you to put your bodies on the line. No people in history have ever achieved their rights without a struggle. This will not be granted to you easily and you must be prepared to fight with every strength you can muster.”
