It is Monday of the NO KINGS3 WEEK. North County Resistance will be along Highway 101 in Manzanita this week on Saturday, March 28 from noon to 2 PM. We hope you and pretty much everyone you know will join us. This is a protest against the authoritarian policies pushed by President Trump. There will be protests in all 50 states and it is estimated 2,100 cities and towns will be involved. It is estimated that over 7 million people will be out protesting and that number is growing daily. North County Resistance is expecting well over 750 people to be protesting at the Manzanita location.
With this many people parking will be at a premium so we are asking those of you who can walk to the event to do so. PLEASE do not park at the businesses that are near this event. You may be towed and nobody wants that. When parking along Manzanita or Laneda Avenues be sure you are parked in the right direction-tickets for parking in the wrong direction might also be given. You may use the parking lot for the Manzanita City Hall. On Division Street by the Manzanita City Hall there several boulders you can park by in that area. You may NOT use the parking lot for the POLICE DEPARTMENT. There are a few parking spaces at the First Security Bank on Laneda Avenue in Manzanita you can use. If you have the time, go out a day or two before the event and scout out where you might be able to park. Get two or three spots under your belt in case your first choices are already taken.
For people to be able to see around the corner to go either north or south on Highway 101 from Manzanita Avenue we ask you not to park in these areas so the line of site is clear.
There will be crossing guards to help you safely cross the street by Manzanita Lumber and Big Wave and also Manzanita Avenue by the Happy Elephant. Please listen to these crossing guards. There will also be Safety Marshals with orange or yellow vests on. If you have any questions or concerns, please look for these people and have them address your concerns.
Again, for safety reasons we ask you to leave your dogs and llamas at home.
We are looking for people to carry NO KINGS signs, Register to Vote signs, and Stop Climate Change signs, or whatever you want for your sign. As this is a Peaceful Protest we ask your signs reflect this philosophy.
We look forward to you being with North County Resistance this coming Saturday.
Thanks,
Patty
