Politics: Materials for Saturday?
I haven’t heard a lot about preparations the marriage equality protest for this coming Saturday. Will there be speakers? Someone who can top Drew Barrymore? Should we bring protest signs and banners? Who is organizing this thing, and how is it going to come off?
I was able to find a page on the Join The Impact website where you can download and upload images for protest signs. There are more over here at Against8. Does anyone else here in DC have any clever slogans that belong on a sign? If anyone wants to make up a sign design and send it our way, we’ll make them available for download. Heck, we might even head to Kinko’s and have a bunch printed up on nice rigid cardstock for Saturday. How else can we get organized for Saturday? Post your ideas in the comments, or come tonight to the TNG “Ban Marriage” Party prepared to discuss and move forward with some concrete actions.
1:31 PM: Update, below the fold…
A reader submitted this sign, and then made the following suggestion:
After reading about some of the protests that have taken place so far, it seems that one of the most important things we’re lacking is a unified message. Personally, I think one of the key messages needs to be that civil rights shouldn’t be up for a vote to begin with.
To this end, the signs my friends and I are making for Saturday are all aimed at this idea. Some of the ones we’re making include:
“When do I get to vote on your rights?”
“Equal rights should never be up for a vote!”
“Justices aren’t legislating…They’re protecting our Constitution”
First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...
Rumor is no speakers because no one has access to amp equipment?
I think it’s just going to be a march, startnig at the reflecting pool by the Capitol and marching to the White House.
I feel like we’re in DC, the most politically active and aware city in America. This protest needs to be more than just a march.
If this is a totally grassroots effort, can we all just recruit our own speakers?
I’m not exactly sure, but something makes me think that a large group needs to register or file for a permit if they intend to storm the Capitol or stage march?
Can anyone validate this?
Would suck if the Capitol police made us go home on account of paperwork.
looks like there’s organizers who i guess are doing that
