MAKE SIGNS to carry
with you. CONSIDER using location
specific words like LA, SoCal, OC etc.
This way when people see the picture,
they will know it is from LA. Please
keep all messaging kind, avoid any
remarks that might be seen as offensive,
oppressive, profane, slanderous...I
think you get the drill. Remember we are
a family friendly event and want to
deliver our message with positivity.
This
demonstration is in solidarity with
the Washington D.C. march happening
the same day organized by 350.org,
Sierra Club and Hip Hop Caucus.
