Woohoo! indeed.

Overall I felt very empowered by the meeting - it was the best meeting of any kind that I've ever been to.  I was afraid I was going to be bored and falling asleep but even the things that weren't relevant to me were interesting.

It was also enlightening to see the opposition and hear their arguments.  I found it very educational in terms of strategy for future organizing.  It's all about locating the power nexuses around an issue and exploiting them properly, in addition to invoking the common good, of course.  I feel the greenmarkets got lucky...

Anyway, I'll certainly be shopping at both greenmarkets every weekend this summer!

Oh, and thanks for the link and mention, I was very moved :P

I thought you made some great points. In addition, Alex wrote a nice pieceas well:

The big lesson in all this is - if you believe in an issue, find out what you can do to get your opinion heard. Just because you think an idea is good doesn't mean that everyone thinks said idea is sound. This is a huge problem that is just starting to be remedied by smaller grassroots organizations against...well, pick your enemy.
