Estimates of crowd size range from 7,000 - 10,000 ... We the People electrified
the energy in the heart of the city.. we even got some confetti rained down on
us from one of the office buildings (but I missed getting pic of that - drat).

The march and occupation has neither sought nor received and permits for any of
it's activities. City Hall, to it's credit, did not over-react to this and in
fact seemed to kind of "get it", that it shouldn't require a "permit" to simply
associate publicly to exercise our rights to freedom of assembly and speech.

At last minute cops said we could march in the streets (not confined to the sidewalks
as we were originally told) which hugely helped to set cooperative tone for the march.
The police to their credit, had very low key presence along the march route per se.
However, there were reports of armored vehicles, storm troopers, etc. just a few
blocks away "just in case". But all went smoothly without a hitch. It was a
beautiful sight to behold and be a part of.
