Joan Baez spoke and sang 4 songs, ending with Christmas in Washington. Bonnie Raitt did one song accompanying herself on guitar. Many many speakers, including Martin Sheen who roused the crowd immensely. And of course Representative Barbara Lee. It was a very high-energy, and COMMITTED feeling with as diverse a crowd as I've ever seen.
