On the morning of Sunday April 23rd the Brattleboro fire department will hang the We Celebrate Democracy / Civil Rights For All main street banner over Main St at High St in down town Brattleboro. On that night at 8 pm we are calling a Candlelight Vigil For Democracy under the banner (rain date the 24th). Democracy is the light of the world. But the forces of darkness are trying to put it out. Bring yourself and friends and family with candles to light for democracy. Pliny Park has been reserved for this event and we have also received an open air permit from the town in case a large crowd attends. Please RSVP so we can plan ahead. Please stay on the sidewalks and do not block Elliott St and High St. Thank you to the town of Brattleboro and to all of you for your help and support .This Vigil is an alcohol and Drug free event .By attending you commit to obeying the law and to acting in a nonviolent and respectful manner in both word and deed.
Making the banner (by Vt Banner Arts) and permits for the the banner have been funded by $1600 in small donations from local people and businesses and organizing the vigil has been fueled by a love of democracy. Sponsored by the We Celebrate Democracy Project, Woody Bernhard and Susan Kunhardt and friends. For info and to RSVP: woodyandsusan@gmail.com 802 464 3154
