If you are able to make letters or provide any materials, please let us know. Letters need to be at a minimum, 24” high, the taller/bigger the better. You will also need bungees, carabiners, and possibly grommets and zip ties if you make your own letters or signs. Big hands on noodles, bubbles, music, etc. I have guides/lists to send to anyone separately if you are interested in making your own letters, banners, or for supplies. Just let me know.
NOTE: WE HAVE 5 OF THE WORD “VOTE” – 2 VINYL, 3 IN LETTERS. WE ALSO CAN HELP WITH LETTERS FOR THE PHRASES. WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN MAKE AND WHAT YOU MAY NEED. WE ARE MAKING 5 “WAVES” AND MIGHT MAKE MORE. We also have 3 Vet flags.
#### Miscellaneous: ####
We will have big signs for the bridge but feel free to bring your own. (With letters at least 2 feet tall!) See Size Chart. The document appears to be a table or chart displaying specifications for signage, including font size, viewing distance, and speed in MPH, with various numerical values and measurements for different distances.
+ If you want, bring a cold drink, a lawn chair or any creature comforts you may need.
+ PLEASE LEAVE THE CENTER OF THE BRIDGE OPEN so pedestrians and bicyclists can pass through.
+Please keep it civil. No swear words or hand gestures even though you will get some from the cars.
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event that disrupters approach you, do not engage in any way, just walk away and notify another member to pull out their phone & film. We want to keep this a safe and peaceful event for everyone.
