The New York Beacon has a phenomenal article about last week's "Hunting for Mayor Bloomberg" direct action in the subways. See below for the entire thing! Special thanks to longtime PTH ally Donna Lamb, whose journalism always does justice to the awesome work of our members.

Rob just called us up from the bullpen... despite being held for over 24 hours, he was in good spirits and sounded very energized to KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!
