Are you looking for a protest buddy or tips on how to stay as safe and grounded as possible during heated protests? Do you have questions about anti-fascism in general or antifa in particular? Is your picnic basket gathering dust in a lonely closet?
Come on out and join us for a pre-counter-protest picnic specifically aimed at novice or disconnected activists looking for a safer space to network with others of like mind. Bring your picnic basket, blanket, food to share, friends, children, games, and any information or questions you have. Let’s work together to create opportunities for solidarity and understanding among all who oppose fascism in all its forms.
You’ll find us in the “bowl” in the southwest quadrant of the capitol. We’ll choose a shady spot.
Bring friends! ♥
We strive to make all OSWN? Collective events a space free of oppression, so please leave your hateful garbage at home. For more information on our group, our safer spaces policy and our rules, please see our FAQ.
