There seems to be, big surprise, more-or-less of a press blackout on the labor march last night, December 1.

There was a fair amount on the march on local media last night: the turnout seems to have been about 20,000, which is less than the march after the eviction but still quite large, especially for a labor/OWS march.

The only articles I could find quickly were on from NBC, which confounded the march with an AIDS march on the same day.

The best article I could find was in the Russian Times.

If anyone was there, plz post something. Likewise, any media sources.

Yeah pretty much no news to report on it. It seems that the media didn't see it as very news worth (it was a pretty uneventful march).

I didn't know those numbers were so high, it felt like a lot less than 20,000 to me, but then again I didn't get a great view of the whole march: just the part I was at.
