SignWriting at the Gally protest?

[Kimberley Shaw]

Me too -- I would LOVE to see video clips of people doing this chant! So

this is why I hate glossing so much.
I keep seeing the glossed version of this chant, but not yet the actual way
people are signing it.
Here's two sites with links to video clips about the protest ...
