Etiquette
Our goal is to get our message out in a positive and safe manner.
We want to be taken seriously. We will be judged by our attitudes, sign presentation and dress.
We will be wearing RED, WHITE & BLUE colored shirts at the march. That way we know each other and stand united.
Please be prepared for people who may not be in agreement with us. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and so are we. Please remember that our response needs to be positive not confrontational. The world will be watching and in order to be taken seriously and respected we must be respectful.
We DO NOT CONDONE the use of force or violence by anyone IN WORDS OR ACTIONS. Anyone committing violent acts is disavowed by WE THE PEOPLE and the FULLY OPEN CA movement. They are plants and/or are acting independently and should be treated as such and not affiliated with this movement. If you see someone acting violently, immediately move yourself and group/s away from them. Isolate them away from others and get law enforcement.
Important!
All people are required to maintain CDC guidelines for prevention. Following Best practice.
Social distancing from non-family members means you need to stand 6’ apart. 2 arm lengths away from each other.
We are leaving wearing masks or cloth face coverings up to your discretion.
If you are sick or high risk please stay at home and quarantine.
Media
Each location will have a spokesperson to talk to the media.
We must be prepared for what will be said to the media so our message is clearly communicated. Words can be taken out of context and become damaging.
We understand sometimes it’s hard to find the words so we will be helping by giving you highlights and answers to general questions to help you with people who ask what this moment is all about. Here is a sample statement:
We are demanding that Newsom FULLY REOPEN CALIFORNIA NOW.
We demand our rights are restored.
We have the right to work and we can do so while exercising preventative safety measures.
We CANNOT SURVIVE this shutdown any longer.
People have been stripped of their rights to freedom of religion. They have no right to shut us down from our churches. The right to practice your religion free from government interference is absolutely essential freedom to every person. This government overreach violates 1st amendment rights and WE WON’T STAND FOR IT!
