Please do not park in the business parking lots in the surrounding areas, as you may be asked to move. If you need a ride, please contact us—we’re happy to help you get to the protest. The weather may be cool, so please dress in layers for comfort. Bring your water, chairs, and signs, or anything else you need to feel comfortable.
Since we will be along Highway 101, everyone’s safety is our priority. We will have a barrier up and ask that you do not cross it onto Highway 101. If you need to cross the street by the lumberyard, someone will be at the crosswalk to help you do so safely. If you encounter any problems, please look for someone wearing an orange vest—they are there to assist you. This is a peaceful rally, and we do not engage with those who try to disrupt our event. Respectful conduct is essential to ensure the safety and unity of our group.
We are also continuing to collect donations for the North County Food Bank. There have been questions about the food bank closing, so please visit their website for current information. The food bank is not closing permanently, and our continued support is important. You can reach them at: Northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org
Your participation in these protests shows others in our community that we value democracy and want to see positive changes in how our country is governed. Thank you for standing with us.
