Reminder: Stand Against Sit/Lie @ Sat Mar 27, 2010 (Queer Things)

more details » Stand Against Sit/Lie http://www.standagainstsitlie.org/ SIDEWALKS ARE FOR PEOPLE! ALL DAY / CITY-WIDE SATURDAY, MARCH 27 PLAN SOMETHING FUN ON A SIDEWALK NEAR YOU OR PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE GATHERINGS! 4:00PM: MEET FOR AN END-OF-THE-DAY CELEBRATION AT MARKET/CASTRO PLAZA FIND EVENTS OR ADD YOUR OWN EVENT TO THE MAP The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will soon be voting on a law that would make it illegal to sit or lie on any sidewalk in San Francisco. We think it's a terrible idea to criminalize the act of sitting in public space and we are shocked that San Francisco may be on the verge of adopting the most draconian "sit/lie" law in the country. You can help stop this law from passing, and you'll need do nothing more than do what you love on your nearest sidewalk. MARCH 27 will mark a fantastic, city-wide celebration of public space, San Francisco's diverse and vibrant culture, and San Francisco's history of tolerance and compassion. On Saturday, March 27, people in every neighborhood will be doing what they love on the city's sidewalks and they will be inviting family, friends, and neighbors to join them. Multiple events have already been planned and the list is growing by the day. More than one thousand people have already RSVP'd! What can you do for Sidewalks are for People? Anything! Just occupy a space on the sidewalk, perhaps with a table, lawn chair or carpet. Then, make music, barbecue, do yoga, create a lemonade stand, read, relax, make art, have an argument, talk, sun bathe, do your taxes, play chess, meditate, do tai chi, eat, knit, dance, paint, write, sit, lie down, play — Anything! We will provide you with some basic materials to hand out to curious pedestrians, along with tools to support you in orchestrating this in the most effective way. Other than that, we leave it up to you to organize the best event that you can. You can do whatever you want, but please do something! Be sure to document your event with photos and video.
