It is a very exciting time in Dee Why and Manly, Australia.
After meeting with several of you to discuss issues that greatly affect this region and after reading countless periodicals, the protests/rallies are starting to take on a life all their own. I really appreciate the assistance of so many in helping to call attention and give enlightenment through this alternative method of protest.
It has always been my intention, with these events, to let the project's content be driven by local concerns.
The Dee Why Protests will begin tomorrow, September 14 and September 15 from 11am - 1pm. The meeting location is at the corner of The Strand Arcade and Howard Street. If possible a white shirt is desired. I do have several that can be used but will need to be returned upon completion of the march. The march will go up the hill on The Strand circling around the playground to the end of the road circling back in front of the businesses, to the beach and toward the reef ending in a "die in". All this will be explained upon arrival at The Strand.
The Manly Beach Protests will begin on Saturday, September 21 and 22 from 11am - 1pm. The meeting location is in front of the Manly Art Gallery and Museum. Again a white shirt is recommended.
The parade route is throughout the Corso stopping at various locations of interest along the way on to the beach. "Sit ins", pauses, rally in the Corso and a final "die in" will be performed.
With all the political elections and concerns in the news....it seems the general consensus is leaning more toward issues of the environment and nature.
After each protest a discussion will be conducted to trouble shoot the protest, collect links in conjunction with that day's march to be posted on the blog, plan for the future and personal reflections.
Hope to see you tomorrow or in the coming days.
