Huge Anti-Trump Protest at Ocean Beach
This is a peaceful, family-friendly rally open to all (including well-behaved dogs) who would like to see Trump and his band of billionaires ushered out of the White House immediately.
Using your bodies, the participants will spell out “RESIST” in letters 100 feet tall — or maybe taller. A photographer and videographer will record the message from a helicopter, and photos and video should be in worldwide circulation by mid-afternoon.
Ocean Beach Trump Protest
Saturday, February 11, 2017 | 10:30 am
Ocean Beach just south of Cliff House btwn stairwells #1 and #4, SF
FREEPlease note, details can change. The forecast predicts dry and sunny weather, but if lousy weather shows up, the helicopter won’t fly and they may reschedule. Please check Facebook for updates before heading out.
TIME: Please arrive by 10:30 am. “RESIST!” will have already been etched into the sand. The helicopter arrives overhead at noon sharp. When the onboard camera crew signals its satisfaction, the group will proceed safely to the waterline and form a chain stretching down the beach, holding hands (also filmed from above). Event should end by 12:30 pm.
LOCATION: Directly south of the Cliff House (1090 Pt Lobos Av, SF, 94121), between Stairwells #1 and #4.
GETTING THERE: If possible, please arrive via public transportation or carpool. Ocean Beach is serviced by Muni buses and trains from all over the city, including from all BART stations. The Fulton Street and Geary Avenue buses drop you ten-minutes walk from the event site. The N-Judah trolley line drops you a mile away, a gorgeous 20-minute walk. Given the large number of signups, parking at the beach may be difficult. The western end of Golden Gate Park is also a good parking possibility.
TRASH: They have always left the beach cleaner than they found it. The Park Service asks that they do so again. Please take your trash with you, or drop it in a trash can, or in the black plastic garbage bags that will be at every letter. Thank you.
Thanks to SF Station for the tip off about this event.
