Poets will be meeting at 11:00 am this Saturday, Feb. 15:
Outside Conran's food emporium plaza on East 59th Street and 1st Avenue, just under the 59th street bridge.
Look for the Guernica banner and the Poets For Peace banner.
We will begin walking towards the main rally (1st Avenue stretching north from 49th Street) at around 11:30 am.
We will be forming a "feeder march" to the main rally as recommended on the United for Peace website.
Info from the United for Peace website:
For information on feeder marches and the law, see "Know Your Rights: Demonstrating in New York City" by the New York Civil Liberties Union. In general, marching on the sidewalk without a permit is legal so long as you do not obstruct pedestrian traffic. Marching in the street without a permit would be an act of civil disobedience.
(note: This is the official plan. The Bryant park plan is no longer in place.)
