March on the RNC and Stop the WarAUGUST 31 at 8:30pm UPDATE: RALLY AND MARCH WILL PROCEED AS PLANNED.
Bus drop off and pick up will be on the West side of the Capitol Grounds, on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, between University Avenue and John Ireland Blvd. Parking Because the protest is on a holiday, Labor Day, there will be a substantial amount of free parking in the immediate area around the Capitol Building. This will include State parking lots and metered street parking.
Lot Q will be designated for buses. Other lots are open for free parking. Also, most streets around the Capitol will have free parking at meters (given that it is Labor Day). City regulations and restrictions * "It shall be unlawful for any person participating... to carry or possess any length of metal, lumber, wood, or similar material for purposes of displaying a sign, poster, plaque or notice, unless such object is one-fourth (1/4) inch or less in thickness and two (2) inches or less in width, or if not generally rectangular in shape,such object shall not exceed three-fourths (3/4) inch in its thickest dimension." * We believe puppets, bicycles, and motorized vehicles will also be prohibited in the march. Other helpful info will be posted here as it becomes available.

Upcoming eventshttp://www.protestrnc2008.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We recognize that protests at the RNC will take many forms. With that in mind, we have worked for common ground with other forces to ensure that our various projects work in concert, with a commitment to ensure no one's plans are disrupted or undermined by fellow protesters. Our coalition agrees to the following principles for the September 1, 2008, March on the RNC. (1) our solidarity will be based on respect for diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups. (2) the actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space. (3) any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events. (4) we oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance, infiltration, disruption and violence. We agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.
