Would you like to volunteer for to help keep protesters safe?
PLEASE ARRIVE AT 10:30, we’ve learned that protesters will arrive early. We will assign people to sections of the rotary where each of you will find your safety vest.
We are expecting a national training and will alert you to that and encourage you to sign up.
It’s important to keep people out of traffic, behind the white edge lines and curbs.
Avoid crossing the street as much as possible.
Until the national training, this is information we’ve shared in the past that remains relevant.
