If you missed all the action Saturday night, videographer Erik Schultz made this dreamy video for us. It sums up 12 hours of protests in a concise and beautiful 11 minutes. Watch and share!

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.
