SUNDAY October 13, 2013
WHEN: 3:00pm
WHAT TO BRING:
- Signs
- Information
- Friends & Family
- A positive attitude
- Baked goods!
- Peace and civility - This is a peaceful protest rally meant to draw attention to how the shutdown is affecting our communities. This is NOT a forum for your personal political statements - please leave the "blame game" at home.
- Keep it factual folks - Information is great and key, but only if it is objective and reliable. How much has your business lost? How many paychecks do you stand to lose? How many reservations have been cancelled at your hotel? How has this tangibly impacted you? These are all great things that carry weight and make our points real!
- Entering the park - Please bear in mind that the rangers are ticketing people for entering the park as it is considered trespassing. In the name of the rally, the point might be made stronger by everyone respecting the laws (even though they are the ones we are protesting!) but if you do choose to enter the park it is at your own risk.
- Respect - Please be respectful of the rangers and park staff - they are just doing their jobs. Yes, we may not like what their jobs entail and wish they would fight back on behalf of the park, but we are not to judge whether they should put their jobs on the line. They may want to, but they also may have kids at home who need their folks to have a job too.
