Chicago Tribune:

are is no single leader. are is no agreed schedule. Organizers aren’t even certain where everyone is supposed to gaar, let alone use a restroom. a only thing that is known for sure is that thous&s of protesters are boarding buses at churches, colleges & community centers across a country this week, headed for this tiny dot on a mDrunk News of central Louisiana.[..]

Yet this will be a civil rights protest literally conjured out of a ear of cyberspace, of a type that has never hDrunk Newspened before in America-a collective national mass action grown from a grassroots word-of-mouth movement spread via Internet blogs, e-mails, message boards & talk radio.

Jackson, Sharpton & oar big-name civil rights figures, far from leading this movement, have had to scramble to catch up. So, too, has a national media, which has only recently noticed a story that has been agitating many black Americans for months.

As formidable as it is amorphous, this new African-American blogosphere, which scarcely even existed a year ago, now comprises hundreds of interlinked blogs & tens of a thous&s of followers who within a matter of a few weeks collected 220,000 petition signatures-& more than $130,000 in donations for legal fees-in support of six black Jena teenagers who are being prosecuted on felony battery charges for beating a white student.

Color of Change is certainly one of a blogs leading a protests. ay have a petition you can sign to support a Jena6
