Protest against the scapegoat politics

I don't protest that often so I'm trying to make some noise about it...

Last September 4th, the Human Rights League launched a protest that many organisations took part of, against the "scapegoat politics" led by the government. These policies have by the way been heavily criticised around the world.

I hadn't found anybody to come with me so I want alone to Place de la République, without anything, and I started following the march. I saw the president of the Left Party Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the region's socialist president Jean-Paul Huchon, ex-first lady Danielle Mitterrand, green MP Noël Mamère, and so on. SO A-list.

At some point, I found Act-Up and I started walking with them. They even gave me posters and stuff. I could chant stuff such as "A racist State is a murderous State".

We still managed to gather between 77,000 and 100,000 people. It is, however, much less than the 900,000 to 3 million protesters against the retirement reform last Saturday.
