Permits secured for Jan. 20 Mass Protest at the Inauguration!
From the post:
…
The ANSWER Coaltion has a permit for 14th street and Pennsylvania Ave NW and a portion of Freedom Plaza, beginning at 7:00am on Jan. 20 for a protest that will continue throughout the day.…
We are also continuing our long legal battle for additional permitted space along Pennsylvania Ave. on Inauguration Day. The National Park Service has stonewalled the issuance of additional permits in an attempt to sanitize the most visible and primary locations along the route from dissent and free speech activity. Additionally, we are continuing to challenge the illegal, unconstitutional system whereby NPS reserves large portions of the route and other parts of D.C. on Inauguration Day, and in the days and weeks prior to and after, on behalf of Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee.
We think it’s critically important for the people to not be intimidated, to not be silent and to use all public spaces to express themselves.
…
(emphasis in original)
All of that is true, but attending the ANSWER protest means you will be counted as “attending the inauguration.”
What if you took ANSWER’s later advice:
use all public spaces to express themselves.
With tailgate parties on the Beltway (Tailgating @DisruptJ20), and blockades of the same (Low Risk Blockading of the DC Beltway).
Secure President-elect Trump’s place in the history books, with the least attended inauguration in history.
You can be part of that historical event, while sitting on the Beltway out of gas.
Which is it? Do you want to be “in attendance” or “truant” for Trump’s inauguration?
