CCLeft and about 2000 other folks showed up for a cacerolazo, a protest where one bangs on pots and pans and buckets in protest of a wrong done to a community. The Cacerolazo is quickly becoming THE form of protest for anti-globilazation movements. We had a lot of fun, and neither of the two arrests were members of CCLeft.
