July Protest

Okay, so yes, the June protest was a wash- only five people, and really lousy weather. Like I said before, I will not be able to make it to the July protest, as I will be in London, so I need a volunteer who will definitely be there on the 12th, so that I can pass on Sgt. Washington's number in case we need police intervention in July.

And yeah, a flyer campaign around the area wouldn't be a bad idea.

New Police Contact Anon

As some of you may already know, I will not be at the July protest in Pittsburgh, because I'm studying abroad in London. I will continue updating the blog, but I'm looking for someone to temporarily replace me as a police contact for that month's protest. Hopefully, since our current contact, Sgt. Washington, is supposed to be working tomorrow, and we're meeting at the station, I can introduce the volunteer to be the next contact to him, and have the two of you exchange information tomorrow. If anyone's interested, comment here tonight or tell me tomorrow.

A Few Things About Saturday.

Since we ran into problems meeting up and getting ready outside the problematic store, this time I think we should all meet outside the nearby police station and walk over.

Here is a map.

Also, any good sign slogan ideas for Sea Arrrgh? I have a blank poster board and no ideas for it.

Phone Tag Over!

I finally got Sgt. Washington on the phone today. He says we're fine across the street from the Scientology building and that if this guy makes threats again to file a police report. We just need to be very careful to keep moving around and to not block anything. Walking up and down that sidewalk would not be a bad idea, just to be safe. He says he will be working that day and I should call him directly if we have any problems with other police officers telling us to leave. We have each other's names and numbers, so I can get in touch with him easily. There will be an off-duty guy outside the Scientology building, as usual, keeping an eye on things.
