The NO KINGS demonstration rally is TOMORROW, March 28, noon to 3 pm. We obviously have a national crisis and this is our chance as regular citizens to do something about it. How many people from UUFC will be there? Let’s help make Corvallis contribute in a big way to making the nationwide attendance far exceed the 7 million that were at the previous NO KINGS in October.
As for transportation to the demonstration, which begins at noon, I recommend taking the bus to avoid hunting for parking near the courthouse. If you just go to the rally at the courthouse, all the bus routes end at the transit station just a block away from there. If you want to join the march, which starts at noon at 11th and Monroe, several of the bus routes go right by that intersection. Check the route maps on the Corvallis Transit System website to find the route that applies to you.
The march will include songs of resistance, other music, and speeches, not only at the beginning but also at a second half-hour stop at Central Park. It is scheduled to arrive at the 4th-street rally at 2 pm, just 1 hour before the rally ends. Personally, I think the rally is the most important part, so I intend to skip the march, or at least part of it, and spend most of my time on 4th Street. Either way, I strongly encourage everyone one to participate.
