Run, Protest and Make New Friends!
Details
Run and Protest: Come run a 3 mile loop around town with fun, positive and energetic people while making brief stops at busy intersections to peacefully protest the growing authoritarianism of the Trump regime!
Pace: The running pace will be around 12 minute miles, with built in rest stops at the intersections where we protest. Having run our first event a couple of weeks ago, we can attest that running while holding a sign and protesting is a great full-body workout!
Make Friends: After the run, we will head to a nearby coffee shop to get to know one another better and if you choose (no pressure!) to talk about more things that we can do to counter-act the immoral and illegal actions of the Trump administration.
What to Bring: All you need to bring is your running gear and a sign. We have a bunch of extra signs to hand out but depending on how many people show up, we might not have enough for everyone.
The Vibe: Despite the seriousness of the decline into authoritarianism that we've witnessed in the past year, we're aiming for a positive, fun and family-friendly vibe. With an administration that's trying to create fear and stifle hope, we want to show that we're not afraid and that we're stronger than ever! Dictators and would-be dictators hate being laughed at...so funny, cheeky and witty signs are especially encouraged!
