🖤 DEATH OF DEMOCRACY Protest March 🖤
📅 Saturday, Nov. 8
🕥 Setup at 10:30 AM
🚶♀️ March begins at 11:00 AM
📍 Shelby Court Square (Warren Street side)
Join us for a powerful, highly-visible protest march as we mourn the erosion of democratic values—and demand better.
⚫ Dress Code: Black attire encouraged but not required.
🪧 Signs: We’ll have a limited number of black-and-white “DEMOCRACY DIES WHEN…” signs available. Want to help make them? Sign up for our Protest Sign-Making Party at https://www.mobilize.us/clevelandcountydemocrats/event/862932/. Or feel free to bring your own signs. Bonus points for sticking to the black-and-white theme and riffing on “DEMOCRACY DIES WHEN…”
🎤 Speakers: A short slate of speakers will share brief remarks before we march.
🎷 Music: We’re working to include live musicians playing in the style of a New Orleans jazz funeral. Fingers crossed! 🤞
