Leaving on Saturday, May 19th: Please come to St. Joan of Arc’s church (4537 3rd Ave. S., Minneapolis, 55419) between 9 and 9:30pm on Saturday night. We’ll be checking in and loading up the buses from their parking lot. You will not be allowed to park in the church parking lot but there is plenty of street parking in the area. We also encourage you to carpool.
Arriving in Chicago: We will be arriving in Chicago well ahead of the protest and will be dropped off at Grant Park where the protest will be. We encourage you to bring a book or some cards, etc so that you can be entertained when you wake up. We need to get there early so our bus drivers can sleep so they can safely drive us back home.
The protest: The protest will start at the Petrillo Bandshell in Grant Park. Music starts at 10:30 with a performance by Tom Morello and the rally starts at noon. There are a lot of great speakers coming and the speakers list is near the end of this email. Then there will be a march to McCormick Place where the NATO summit is happening. Many of us will be in the Committee to Stop FBI Repression contingent and you are invited to march with us. There will be a bus following the march to pick up people who can’t do the full 3 mile march. At the closing rally Iraq Vets Against the War will have a program where vets from the war in Afghanistan will give back their service metals. The protest ends at 4:15 and our bus will pick us up from the protest by 4:30pm. We’ll hopefully be home around midnight and we’ll return to St. Joan’s.
What to bring:
- food money or food
- something to entertain yourself with Saturday am
- comfortable shoes for the protest
