WE SAY NO KINGS! - Sierra Vista
Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand to demand an end to the authoritarian takeover this October 18th.
RALLY: Join us from 10:30 to Noon for another National Day of Action in Sierra Vista - "WE SAY NO KINGS!"
SACK LUNCH GATHERING: You're invited to join us at Noon for another informal Sack-Lunch Gathering in the park. This will be an opportunity relax after the rally and get to know your fellow patriots. Hope to see you there!
WHAT TO BRING:
• We encourage signs of all kinds addressing the many issues arising from the authoritarian takeover of our country. Also, lots of American flags will demonstrate that We the People will not consent to the rule of a wannabe dictator and his cohorts co-opting our democratic republic and the flag for which it stands.
• Water or other hydrating liquid
• Appropriate footwear
• Dress for the weather (raincoat, umbrella?)
• Chair for Sack-Lunch Gathering (or if desired for Sidewalk Rally)
• Sack lunch if you plan to join us for the noontime gathering
A FEW SAFETY REMINDERS:
No Violence! Ours is a peaceful and legal assembly. The right to assemble and to peacefully protest on public property is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
If we encounter anyone who challenges our right to peacefully protest, wants to argue, or gets into our personal space, we stay calm and do not engage. We just walk away.
If one of us is physically threatened, we call 911 and turn on our phones’ cameras (video if possible). We record the person’s image and behavior. We try to stay calm, keep a safe distance, and try not to engage. We have the right to take photos/videos in a public place.
Please be mindful of vehicle traffic for your and others’ safety. Stay clear of passing vehicles on the roadway, keep signs and flags out of roadway, and stay on the sidewalks or within pedestrian crosswalks.
Make way for pedestrians needing to travel on the sidewalks.
Let's keep our rally peaceful, safe, legal, and orderly.
Reach out if you have any questions and help us spread the word among like-minded patriots! We look forward to seeing you there!
