As most of you are aware Dick Cheney is coming to Alberta. He will be attending a dinner at the University of Calgary, organized by the Fraser Institute on September 8th. I have been contacted by many people saying something should be organized to protest his visit to Calgary and the rest of Alberta. So here is what a bunch of individuals representing different groups have come up with.
We will organize banner demos's on 2 or 3 overpasses which go over Crowchild Trail. The idea is to raise awareness in high traffic density areas, which are close to the university, about Cheney's visit and how he and his messages and agenda's from Washington are not welcome here. Standing in the pedestrian overpasses also gives us the opportunity to hand out information and talk to people. The plan is to do it in the morning of the 8th during rush hour 7:00am-10:00am.
Here is a website of banners and posters and slogans that have been put on overpasses throughout the states. http://www.freewayblogger.com/ These are great ideas for banners for the protest or if you have your own and want to share them please let us know.
In order for this event to be a success, we need your support, attendance and energy. If you are interested in making signs and banners, coming to the demo and helping pass out flyers and hold banners and just generally supporting the action please contact Julie. We need at least 20 people to confirm they will attend the action in order for us to go ahead with the organizing so let me know asap your thoughts.
As soon as we have confirmed some numbers of volunteers we will let you know which overpasses we will be demonstrating on. Julie is currently looking into by-laws and other information that might be useful for an action such as this.
For more information info@candil.ca or 270-9669
Sounds like a party that needs to be crashed.
