12701308, Are you marching this weekend? Posted by bentagain, Fri Jan-16-15 05:54 PM

I've participated in a few demonstrations the last half of last year
I think what you are asking for is a bit irrational
i.e., posting all aspects of a planned protest on the internet, etc...
I mean, you can see how that could be a problem, right?
but from the organizations that I came in contact with
ANSWER was the only one that had permits, routes, etc...posted
They are pretty explicit about their demands and course of actions
they also had members of the national lawyers guild present
but meeting all of the requirements for a legal demonstration also means their participation and activity is alot more infrequent

I'm not sure if 9 hours from Ferguson has you anywhere near these events
but MLK day is a national event for the movement
and, to my knowledge, all organizations are coming to together under that banner
Yeah, the organizations that have daily demonstrations are a lot more risky
i.e., they are operating in the mode of civil disobediance
which is probably the model being used in Ferguson
I would imagine it's probably very difficult to get permits for demonstrations in Ferguson post the no bill
let alone post routes and recruit attendees
as far as being a parent and/or husband
that is what has alot of people out there in the first place
they want change before their family falls victim to legalized murder
so if you genuinely fear for your freedom and/or safety
I would suggest staying home.
part of the point of the protests is that the justice system in this country in unjust
operating within the parameters of that unjust system is an unreasonable request for protests/demonstrations against it, IMO
