There is a protest tomorrow in Palm Beach Gardens!

The last protest by our EarthFirst (EF) friends didn't turn out too well. You can read about that protest here. In their last protest, somebody in EF threw a vehicle battery into the lake. Little details like that can throw you "off message", as they say. 

I plan on going tomorrow and if anyone else is interested maybe we can carpool? Let me know. It should be exciting. Channel 12 will be there, somebody from the Broward New Times, and other media as well. EF is hoping for a big turnout.

IF YOU GO:

NOTE! There will not be any parking at the actual protest location. So the plan is for the protesters to find a spot to park in downtown Palm Beach Gardens (which is hard to define) between 4:00 and 4:15. A shuttle will take the protesters to the Briger Tract protest site. 

Directions: Take I-95 to the Donald Ross exit. Off the exit go East. Continue down Donald Ross Road to Central Boulevard (the traffic light). This intersection is the location of the protest however DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PARK HERE. Go left on Central Blvd until you come to a roundabout. Keep an eye out for the signs to Main Street. Down Main Street somewhere you should find public parking. NOTE: Do not block private and public access. Be polite. 

Our good friends at EF are humbly requesting a "mic check" to get an idea how many plan to attend and deal with the logistics/planning. The EF sites and contact information are below. I am sure the event will be well organized and run smoothly, especially as it relates to travel to the protest site.

Once you are parked and ready for the shuttle pick-up send a text to “BRIGER” using 84576 to get further instructions. NOTE: I texted "BRIGER" this morning and discovered that you may incur additional charges to your phone by doing so. So keep that in mind.
