FINAL DETAILS OF NYC OCT. 7 RALLY
October 5, 2001
Posted on 10/05/2001 10:39:24 AM PDT by firebrand
We are waiting for approval from the Chief, since the peace rally is a borough event, encompassing more than one precinct as well as a march. If there are any further changes, I will post them.
We will meet on Union Square North, which is the same as East 17th Street between Park Avenue South and Broadway. We will meet on the north side of the street, in front of the Barnes & Noble bookstore. If there is any change at the last minute, a freeper with a flag will be posted there to direct other rallyers to the right spot.
Date: Sunday, October 7
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Our plan is to hold our usual type of rally until 2:30, when the peace demonstrators will begin their religious service. Out of respect for the family members of victims who will be there and for the religious nature of the service, we will remain relatively silent during that time, with no chants or singing.
At 3 p.m., the peace demonstrators will march to Times Square, heading west on 14th Street and going up Sixth Avenue. We will then take the subway from Union Square to Times Square so that we can be counterpresence to their rally at Times Square as well.
The trains that go directly to Union Square are the 4, 5, 6, L, and Q (Q runs on the track that used to be the R and the N, as far as our purposes are concerned). If you come in at Penn Station, you can walk one block east to the Q and take that downtown to 14th Street, or you can take the 2, 3, 1, or 9 down to 14th Street and then walk east when you get there. Eastsiders can take the 4, 5 or 6.
It is my hope that since we all want peace and simply feel that the peace demonstrators are mistaken in their approach to peace, we will emphasize that difference in approach, show them respect, and perhaps gain some respect for our point of view as well. Intelligent, well-thought-out literature will be of great help in this. There will be many more of them than there are of us and we may have a chance to let our views be known and understood.
Remember, no bullhorns or sticks. If you don't have cardboard dowels for your signs or flags, you can buy some wrapping paper and use those.
Good demonstrating, everyone.
