I know I rallied against Lady Gaga memes earlier, but this is tops.
A flashmob infiltrates the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco and performs an adaptation of Lady Gaga’s song “Bad Romance.” The event was organized to draw attention to a boycott called by the workers of the hotel who are fighting to win a fair contract and affordable healthcare. Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer activists put the song and dance together as a creative way to tell the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ people from all over the country coming to San Francsico in June for Pride to stay out of the boycotted hotels.
(thanks Jackson!)

the st francis ripped out the compass rose, so i’m kinda liking this sort of creative non-60s protest of whatever it is they are doing that sucks.
So awesome. That’s some bad ass activism. One Struggle One Fight, Pride at Work, and HAVQ are killing it. And the Brass Liberation Orchestra has basically become the soundtrack for the revolution* in San Francisco these days. That crew is everywhere.
This was awesome; there’s plenty more activism to be done!
what’s up with the thriller moves? the dancing isn’t making much sense, I don’t expect it to be perfect but shit it should make sense
