Wishing everyone Happy Valentine’s Day! The North County Resistance Protest is scheduled for February 14 from noon to 2 PM in Nehalem.
We invite you to join us in celebrating our rights: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, and Freedom to Petition the Government.
Many of us are frustrated by the “mixed signals” we receive, sometimes as frequently as every hour, from our National Government. Despite these challenges, we are committed to upholding DEMOCRACY. Your participation is important, PLEASE join us.
Most attendees are familiar with the North County Resistance’s efforts to avoid interfering with local businesses in both Nehalem and Manzanita. In Nehalem, we ask protesters to remain on the right side of Highway 101 as it heads north. We will gather in the Nehalem Public Parking Lot, which has a capacity of about 100 people.
When confronted with negativity, we strive to respond with the peace sign instead of returning a middle finger. If you try both gestures, you’ll find that the peace sign is much easier. Additionally, there are instances of diesel trucks purposely emitting black smoke. For more information, you can search “purposely spewing black smoke from diesel trucks” online. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, so be careful.
The North County Resistance is requesting support from volunteers. We need SAFETY MARSHALLS at our protests in Nehalem, and especially in Manzanita for the NO KINGS protest on March 28th. Although we had Safety Marshalls at the last NO KINGS protest, additional training would be beneficial for everyone involved.
Specifically, we are looking for at least 6 volunteers to serve as TRAFFIC MONITORS, ensuring safe passage for protest participants across Laneda and Highway 101, as well as Manzanita Avenue where it intersects with Highway 101. We also require 10 SAFETY MARSHALLS to be stationed within the crowd and respond to the dynamics of the protest.
If you are able to volunteer as a TRAFFIC MONITOR or SAFETY MARSHALL, please email or check in with the organizer tomorrow. North County Resistance would like to meet with volunteers to discuss expectations and provide information to guide your role.
And last, but not least, is a weather report. We are not looking for the water bombs and wind we had last week. That said, it is going to be cold. Bring your rain gear but you might be able to leave it in the car. You will need hat and gloves, and several layers on both top and bottom. And don’t forget your feet.
Thanks, and don’t forget to volunteer to be a SAFETY MARSHALL or TRAFFIC MONITOR.
