ACTION: ALEC Thurs 7/18 Arlington VA

Passing this on cause I was asked to.

Don't really want to.

Too much emotion out there right now - I DON'T think this is a good idea.

Keep it on the streets - for your own safety, do NOT enter that building. 

Keep it nonviolent

BUT keep it loud.

 

Thanks to ALEC Ratified Legislation Zimmerman May Have Walked Free

What is ALEC doing this week? 

Moving to a new headquarters and throwing themselves a party!

JOIN US AND PROTEST STAND YOUR GROUND AND VOTER SUPPRESSION

What:

ALEC, the corporate front group that has pushed hundreds of state laws written by special interest lobbyists including Stand Your Ground, is moving its headquarters and holding an open house.

When:

Thursday, July 18^th at 4:00 PM.

Where:

2900 Crystal Drive Arlington, VA(http://goo.gl/maps/mLh6r)

Public parking garage and street parking nearby.  Closest metro:  Crystal City - then about a 10 block walk. 

Why:

ALEC and its corporate-backers must be held accountable. For years, ALEC pushed Stand Your Ground laws based on the one that may have helped George Zimmerman walk free, and the voter suppression laws that are trying to lock many people out of the political process.
