*** SEND EVENT INFO TO ACLU ***
The ACLU of Colorado and the People's Law Project of the National Lawyers
Guild (Brian Vicente, Executive Director of the PLP) are asking groups
with pre-planned events during the DNC, such as parades, marches,
demonstrations, rallies, vigils, street theatre, etc., to provide us with
information on their events. We realize that some events may be
spontaneous, not publicly advertised, or that you might be reluctant or
otherwise unable to provide some info prior to the DNC. To the extent that
you are able to share this information withus in advance, however, it will
greatly assist our efforts to help protect your rights by allowing us to
anticipate how we may need to dispatch PLP Legal Observers and/or ACLU
staff to events, and to formulate plans and allocate resources for the
potential need for legal assistance.
If you can provide any of the following, please send an email regarding
your event(s), including the following: 1) date 2) time 3) location 4)
cell phone # and name for event contact 4) brief description of the
activity and expected number of participants to Taylor Pendergrass at
, or leave the same info on my voicemail at
303-777-5482 x104.
Any information you provide about events will be used only for the purpose
of planning and coordinating legal observers and legal assistance, and
will not be shared outside of the ACLU of Colorado and the People's Law
Project. Likewise, if you are able to provide a cell number and name for
an event contact, it would not be shared without anyone outside of the
ACLU and the PLP, and would only be used in the event that ACLU or PLP
staff needed to get in touch with an event contact to confirm reports of
problems or arrests at an event. Please pass the word to any other groups
that may be planning events during the DNC.
Thanks, Taylor Pendergrass
