At 1 pm, up to 3,000 participants will arrive at Crissy Field, a sprawling green meadow on the edge of San Francisco Bay, behind which the Golden Gate Bridge looms like a surreal, theatrical backdrop. An enormous pro-impeachment message will already have been chalked onto the meadow’s grass in lettering 100 feet tall or taller. Participants will take an instructional flyer from one of the organizers, read it, pick a spot inside the lettering, and by 1:30 pm lay down. At 2 pm a helicopter with photographers aboard will appear overhead and take photos that will, if all goes as intended, be sent worldwide within hours.
Versions of this same event attracted 1,000 people in January, and 1,500 in April. To see photos and video of those events, go to http://www.beachimpeach.org. That website needs updating, but the updating should be completed shortly, and more details about Beach Impeach III (parking, transportation, food, etc.) will be added as soon as possible.
Special Requirements
Hope for a calm, sunny day, BUT PREPARE FOR FOG AND WIND. The weather is notoriously fickle near the Golden Gate Bridge. Even if it’s hot and sunny wherever you wake up in the morning, BRING LAYERS.
Please bring a tarp or blanket to lie down on—the grass can be wet and scratchy. Also, the tarps and blankets help “fill in” the lettering and give the images an attractive ‘quilting’ effect.
