June 23rd, 2010 On Monday, a small group went inside the BP command center in New Orleans to confront those responsible for the spill.

This protest was symbolic; a small number of people couldn’t really disrupt the activities of BP. Imagine, though, if they had a few hundred angry and determined people. Then they could have shut that place down.

Small numbers + confrontation = symbolic (with potential for effectiveness)

Hundreds or thousands of people will hold hands on beaches worldwide this weekend, protesting the catastrophe in the Gulf and demanding an end to offshore drilling.
