As a local organizer, I definitely think the symbolism outweighs the negatives. It shows people actually care enough to take time out on a day we're all so accustomed to celebrating on, by celebrating in the true fashion of America.

Most definitely I will plan future events! We will accomplish nothing by simply doing one and moving on like we've won. They won't listen unless we are persistent, we educate people, get people involved, and keep the issue on the front of peoples minds. Our local representatives are here to represent us and as a non-partisan group this could attract a large number of people! At the end of the day, their job is on the line..right?

Like I said, in this together 100%.

Since we weren't able to get a permit due to time restraints, we have decided that we shall march! It will be legal this way as long as we respect traffic and pedestrian laws.

We'll be meeting in Niagara Square, where I will have material supplied to make signs, and I've handmade about 20. Everyone will be briefed, be asked to sign in and fill out a postcard destined for our local Senators which are outlined in a Google doc here. When they are filled out they will be given a button as a token of gratitude and to know who has already completed one! After about an hour or so, we will start our march down Elmwood, a very popular part of our city famous for it's local businesses, and it will be BUSY! At the halfway point of our march, we will stop at Bidwell Park to listen to anyone who has prepared a speech, hydrate, and just hang out! When we're there for about a half hour/45 minutes, we will march back to the square where everyone will be debriefed and encouraged to come to our next event, as this is the first of many!

Oh and we're also making t-shirts that I believe we will be selling at cost which is about 5 dollars!

Anything I missed out on anything /u/Mike13815 ?

Edit: Spelling

As a local organizer, every dollar not necessary to live has been spent organizing my local event. So yeah, non-profit donations would help tremendously.

We're completely non-partisan. We have all walks of life among us and we focus on nothing other than the restoration and protection of our Fourth Amendment!
