Tri-State Chapter to Meet at 6th Avenue and 42nd Street, NYC, for the National March Against Terror

Sept. 8, 2004 | firebrand

We will be meeting on Saturday, September 11, 2004, at 12 noon, at the northwest corner of Bryant Park (the park behind the main public library). This is the southeast corner of the intersection of 42nd and Sixth (Avenue of the Americas).

We have T-shirts for the first 36 people to RSVP, and are working on the signs. I am also working with some other groups to join us.

The plan is to do a sidewalk march, for which you do not need a permit as long as you don't block the pedestrian flow, to Union Square Park (14th Street and Broadway).

Please post on this thread about whether or not you can attend. Ideas for signs are very welcome.

Did I forget anything? Anybody need any candles?

Some of you seem to have missed the chapter ping on the main National March Against Terror thread and are asking me if we're doing anything. Yes. We are. Herewith (above). Hope you will all turn out for this if possible.

Empire State freepers. Can you joint the NMAT this Saturday, September 11?

New Jersey freepers: If there is not an event near you, consider joining us in New York City. Bring some sand (I'm nostalgic).

Bump for Saturday.

Would love to attend, however, I no longer live in NYC. Please take em off this ping list. Thank you!

I may be able to attend. Depends on several issues, not the least of which is that my wife is in south Jersey and her car died. As I used to race cars for a living, I can fix anything. She said "I can't put it in gear" is about like someone telling an electrician "I flip the switch, but nothing happens".

I'd love to attend and hopefully I can. You guys going to be IN the park or just on the corner? I used to work on 40th and 3rd for 3 years(walked past the park countless times) and I seem to recall that end of the park was grass and shrubs, but shrug.

"...You're invited..."

Coleus, thank you very much for the invite but plans have already been made for September 11, 2001 Remembrance activities. Please keep me in-the-loop for any other FReeper activities over the next few months. Take a look at the URL below:

Sure will, Wombat. Thank you for the update.

We will be right on the corner, where those steps go up to the park. If we end up having a speaker there, the speaker will use the steps as a platform. We can't actually use the park without a parks permit. If we're told to get moving, we'll get moving. We're sort of winging this one.

Get there early, in case we have to start the march.

Just saw the tee shirts for the march on Saturday. They are fabulous! Love the vibrant colors and the graphic.
Many thanks for all your work.
Hope to see everybody there wearing these great shirts.

[firebrand]

I will be bringing some shirts to the independent YR club meeting tonight. Tell me your size (only Large and Extra-Large available). Stanz took the last Teeny-Tiny. (just kidding)

Plan to be there....
