Madison WI Gaza rally | 12/9/023 | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLc7w0NG3j9u0683Yd0Ji2iUEjBk5Q3_P 👈  1hr+

Solid event; no obvious glitches. Little police presence, except at end. Sound system ok/main PA could have been better. No porta-potties.

Amazing 30+ foot? banners. 2nd video starts with a white 20+foot banner listing names of the dead with their ages.  Some creative hand made signs - tried to linger on a few.

#AbandonBiden signs noted

A minor "dust up" ~8 person sub-protest briefly in front of StarBucks, which is adjacent the Capital quad.  "Shame shame...". Protestor started putting stickers on the window. The staff was visible, smiling, with no customers.

The morning started out warm; by rally time it was colder, windy, and seemed to get colder. Gloves a must, eventually.

One crowd estimate: 3,685
