[ MASS (IM-)MOBILIZATION AGAINST INCARCERATION ]
Wherever you are on campus at exactly 11:52*, freeze in your tracks for FIVE MINUTES.
Monday 3/3 : 11:52 - 11:57am -- McKeldin Mall
Synchronize with the time according to the big clock out in front of Stamp.
This is exactly what I'm talking about, but it's just a prank. SSDP is would like to thank ImprovEverywhere for this idea, their group has been doing this type of thing all over the world for years. Check out their site here.
Let's cause a scene for a cause. Because this is not okay.
SSDP will have 3 banners which will be held near the sundial in the center of McKeldin Mall:
(1) "1 in 100 American Adults Behind Bars"
(2) "Ever stop to think..."
(3) "Should we still be waging the War on Drugs?"
We're trying to get people spread out walking on the sidewalks criss-crossing the Mall on Monday at a high traffic time. If you're not already going to be there, plan to be - it's going to be a beautiful day.
We will also have volunteers videotaping the whole thing and quarter page handouts. Stop by the SSDP office between 10:30 and 11:30 to pick some up or help out in some other way if you would like to.
