Imagine (click title to entry - thank you) having the energy to march from Western to the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham every Friday.
Now imagine holding signs until your hands are sore, until your voice is gone and your feet are uncomfortable, all in an effort to protest against war or social or economic inequality.
This is Bellingham’s tradition.

“As for the Occupy movement, I do think this protest is good,” McShane said….
Today, Occupy Bellingham is the community’s most recent social movement.
