A group of us went down on buses a day early to help out with clinic defense in DC since we knew OR were planning to blockade clinics on the Saturday morning. The special crack Boston team joined other 'elite' clinic defense teams from DC, LA and Philly.
After the rally, I headed back on the train - so the train pics are actually from the return journey.
