Wow. Can we just say how proud we are of everyone who joined together @ Austin City Hall today to make our local Join the Impact rally such a HUGE success? Estimates had the crowd at somewhere between 2,000-3,000 in attendance, with not a single nay-sayer in the bunch . . . at least none that we saw. The honks of support from all of the cars driving by on Caesar Chavez Street, combined with the overall positive atmosphere of the crowd were just overwhelming. The impromptu march to and from the state capitol building and down Congress Avenue following the rallying was quite moving as well. We are incredibly humbled to have been a part of this event. Here are some of our favorite photos from today. Many more after the jump.
