Stand Up! Shout Out! Rally Sunday, August 10th, noon - 8pm Civic Center courtyard, SF http://www.deciblast.org/intouch/
Stand Up! Shout Out! and be heard, on Sunday August 10th the In Touch Collective brings you a different kind of dance in which we will be focusing on the recent laws and bills that have been presented to us as we take in refreshing beats of the DJs to help keep your mood. This will be an activist dance in which we will be gaining not the attention of average ravers or clubers but we will be demanding the attention of those who do not know about the recent laws that have recently come into play.
The gathering will be held at the San Francisco Civic Center courtyard, outside under the beautiful sky from 12 noon until 8pm that night. We are fully permitted with the City of San Francisco and this will be a 100% free gathering as this is a 100% non profit event. We have setup a donation to help us pay for the sound permit which is costing us a chunk of change. We will be accepting donations at the gathering and we also have setup a PayPal account online at the following link. If we can even get $1 from each person it will fully pay for the sound permits. 100% of the donations go to the permits.
Public Speakers
Between the music you will be educated by public speakers giving short speeches that will help give a better understanding of the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act to those who are not in the know, as well as its wrongful association to the Amber Alert child abduction bill the two of which have absolutely not a thing to do with each other. Our goal here is not to reverse any laws, we need to be realistic and we must inform and educate before we can make a change. We will be attracting our usual class of culture but more importantly we will be reaching out to the average 9 - 5 job kind of person, the tourist or visitor to our city who stumbles upon us, the banker going to get his afternoon coffee and sees us, and most importantly all the political figures of whose offices we will be dancing outside of in the courtyard. We need a diverse group of people to attend because this extention of the R.A.V.E. Act hurts not just raves but bars, concerts, clubs, bbq's, even the birthday party you had with a musical performance at it. This bill was passed without having a hearing, without even being debated over and this is wrong. It is up to us to Stand Up and Shout Out.

Spread the word!
What we need from you is to tell every single soul you come in contact with to attend this gathering. A lot depends on how many of you participate because we will be calling on every last local news channel, newspaper and radio news station in the Bay Area to come out and give us the attention we will be demanding to help get our word out to the public. So the more participants we have, the better this will look and the more attention we will gain. We urge you to make signs and pickets baring your feelings towards these new laws. Rules
1. This is the most important rule. NO DRUG USE, NO DRUG SALES, NO PARAPHERNALIA of any kind is to be brought to this gathering whatsoever or you risk going to jail. We are being very strict with this. No joke. Expect to see police!
2. No candy jewelry, no pixie outfits, no angel wings, no elf shoes, clown noses or any other of the dress up goofy stuff that makes us look ridiculous in the eye of the media. You just might end up giving an interview to one of the many reporters there so be prepared to represent us to the best of your ability.
3. No negative attitudes, no personal scuffs, no violence and please respect the land we are on, it is property of 'The City of San Francisco and City Hall'. Expect to be educated and be prepared to listen and learn.
If you cannot respect these 3 rules, please do not bother going at all. PERIOD. How to Get Involved 1. This is a protest and we need to visibly show what we are fighting against and what points we want to get across. So we ask anyone who would like to create homemade signs, pickets and banners to get friends together, get all your arts and crafts stuff and make the best of what you got. We are looking for catchy slogans like "NO DRUGS NO JOKE", "SAVE THE DANCE", "FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS" and other similar things. We are sure you get the idea and if you would like to do this for us please e-mail the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let us know the specifics of what you have in mind.
2. We need all you other promotion companies and street promoters to send out our BSP in any e-mailing lists you have and put up our banner on your website. Spread the word in any ways possible. This means e-mails, homemade xerox flyers, word of mouth, forums and anything to get the word out to as many people as possible whether they be teachers, parents, sisters, friends or neighbors just talk about it constantly and get the word out. Remember the more people we have the stronger we are and this could be a major step to reversing these laws.
3. Give us your suggestions. Give us your feedback. If your have a big idea that you think would help this large scale protest along in its way, please let us know. We have done a lot and have over 30 organizations participating and supporting us, but we can still use more. If you know someone who you think might play a key role in this gathering please let us know and make contact by writing to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. Make a donation to help pay for the sound permits and the money we are throwing down on this musical protest. We use PayPal to make secure online donations. Just click the link and follow the directions. Its all safe and every dollar helps. Contact info This page will be updated very soon so please check back. If you have any questions or comments or you would like to add a major idea to the event please e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or AIM myself at OTayblTwiztrO or Daniel at dmfan1981
