I put my email address as a contact person to ask for directions/parking info about the protest in our city, and I have gotten quite a number of emails (which is great news turnout-wise!, some of which asked many specifics about the details of the ralley that I can't provide -- like whether there will be t-shirts, how long it will last, who will organize chants, etc. I personally am really only qualified to provide directions and insider parking trips, as we live across the street from our downtown rally location. And, the lesson, I think, is that folks should anticipate that their rally is not going to be a super-organized protest. It is a massive undertaking to have simultaneous protests in all fifty states, and I think those of us who are newer to civil action need to go with the flow a bit. Expect that the group will figure it out on the fly, so to speak. So, show up, bring a handmade sign if you can, and begin to change the world. <abbr><em>ladiesinwaiting´s last blog post..<a href="http://twoladiesinwaiting.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/once-in-college/" rel="nofollow">Once, in college.</a></em></abbr><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3719','ladiesinwaiting'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3719','ladiesinwaiting','Good of you to post this.

More than anything, I hope it makes a difference, and that they have really good turn out.
