Hello, friends. I think we are solid on out details now. The group Americans for Social Security, who were also rebuffed for Columbia Park, are going to rally at LSUS from noon-12:30. I'm going to encourage people to go to that, if indeed the 2:00 start for the speech proves correct. Then, at 12:30, we caravan to the rendezvous point for the march, which will be the old Quail Creek Cinema parking lot on Shreveport-Barksdale Highway. It's a large parking lot with a Chinese restaurant on one side, but the theater & other businesses are vacant, so we won't be stepping on toes taking up parking spaces.
We'll march down to King's, & then down King's to Centenary. According to info I received today, the area in front of one of the residence halls, Cline, has been designated a "protest zone," & faculty & students will be gathering there. As distasteful as the concept is, the media will (hopefully) see a concentration of people, signs, etc.
Now, if there's an announcement of an earlier start for the speech, I think we should skip the speech at LSUS in order to get our march over to Centenary.
One other point: Sgt. Andrews with the police suggested signs without wooden sticks, as those could be confiscated for "security" reasons. You know how the undead fear wooden stakes.
Anyway, we are meeting at our house tomorrow - Thursday - at 6:00, at 528 Wilkinson, to finalize things, make signs, etc. People are encouraged to bring snack foods & drinks, their creativity and their passion. Thanks for your efforts getting the word out.
Peace and dissent, brothers and sisters.
