NYC – People’s March for a Free Press: Truth Matters

New York Public Library and Bryant Park

https://www.facebook.com/events/619092491613956/

Please fill out the volunteer/ participant form http://bit.ly/freepress56 At a time when journalism is called “Fake News” (and worse) in attempts to delegitimze our Press and exclude them from the conversation in an attempt to turn nearly half the nation against the truth, we are precariously on the ledge of the rabbit hole to full blown fascism. This march and rally is in support of our Press and Free Speech, as writtien in the First Amendment to the Constitution. We are march against propaganda, lies, and inciting of violence by #45 by spreading these lies and propaganda to lesson the “impact” of his Russian ties and (hopeful) Treason investigation, the lies about the wall and the racism being incited, the lies about our Muslim brothers and sisters, etc- to his core base.

These are dangerous times, and without a free press able to report truth to us, even a facade of a Democratic Republic is gone. Please join us.

From 12 to 1 we will be listening to speakiers in Bryant Park, as well as a musical performance. TBA.

At 1 p.m. we march! Please see map below (in the discussion) for exact route. As the event comes together we will add all of the locations we will be stopping at, and each will have a specific performance (be it song, a vignette, an historic reading, etc).

The march will wind back to Bryant Park at approximately 2:30 with closing speeches.

I can use ALL of your help contacting press to cover the event, doing live video feeds, working on a particular vignette or song that you’ve come up with~! Let’s make this exciting. Inviting http://www.davidmoriya.com and our other awesome photographers back, as well as #GetorganziedBK and #OurFlag and even Bus For Progress. Let’s make it work this time!
