They did it!
After being on the bridge cables for more than two hours, the three amazing heroes came down. The energy still soars, though, from their historic and elegant action. We once again will be dealing with the dualing gender roles of Laurel’s mistaken identity and the butchering of Duane’s name. According to ABC Channel 7,
The protesters were identified by the group’s national director as Hannah Strange, Wayne Martinez and a woman by the name of Laurel (spellings unconfirmed).
check out this amazing interview with Laurel Sutherlin! While hanging from the bridge, he stays on message! Yo~

SOLIDARITY WITH TIBET
“One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008″
Chronicle Staff Report
Monday, April 7, 2008
(04-07) 11:22 PDT SAN FRANCISCO — Three demonstrators scaled the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge this morning in a protest aimed at drawing attention to Chinese human rights violations in Tibet.
The protest comes two days before the Olympic Torch makes its only North American stop in San Francisco before the games this summer in Beijing.
Alma David, a spokeswoman with the Students for a Free Tibet, said three people scaled one of the towers around 10:30 a.m., carrying a banner that reads, “One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008.”
The protesters unfurled the banner at 11:20 a.m.
David said authorities were climbing the tower in an attempt to force the demonstrators down. The California Highway Patrol said the far-right lane of northbound traffic on the bridge was blocked.
