 HERE:\nhttp://sidewalksareforpeople.org/december-18th-events:\n\n:::WHAT::: 
 SIDEWALKS ARE FOR PEOPLE is a citywide celebration of San Francisco's 
 public space, its vibrant and diverse culture, and its tradition of 
 tolerance and compassion. People from all walks of life, across the city, 
 will be doing what they love on the city's sidewalks: barbecues, chalk 
 drawing, chess, yoga, reading, knitting, jumprope, playing music, painting, 
 tea/coffee parties, sunbathing, meditating, DJing, hanging out, tai chi, 
 dancing, anything -- you name it!\n\n::: WHERE/WHEN ::: The event will be 
 happening all-day, all over the city. We encourage you to host your own 
 event -- from very simple to very elaborate -- at anytime you like. It's up 
 to you! Participants can post their events or find other events on the 
 official map which will be up soon at: 
 http://www.SidewalksAreForPeople.org/\n\n::: WHY ::: In the November 
 election San Francisco voters passed Prop L, also as known as the Sit/Lie 
 ordinance. This law makes it illegal to sit or lie on any sidewalk in San 
 Francisco from 7am to 11pm. We think it's a terrible idea to criminalize 
 the act of sitting in public space and we're quite sure it's a violation of 
 our constitutional rights. We intend to challenge Prop L in the 
 courts.\n\nWhen we held our first Sidewalks are for People Day event last 
 March, it was a huge success with more than a thousand participants. We 
 found it to be a great way to discuss the issue in a positive way with our 
 neighbors and fellow San Franciscans.\n\nWe think public spaces are safer 
 when people are encouraged to use them to meet with neighbors, friends, 
 family and others from the community. We like how our sidewalks reflect the 
 diverse, vibrant culture of our city. We believe in freedom of expression, 
 the right to peaceably assemble, and the pursuit of happiness on our 
 sidewalks!\n\nIf you value public space and your basic civil liberties we 
 encourage you to join us by doing something fun on the sidewalk on 
 Saturday, December 18.\n\n\n::: WHAT CAN DO FOR SIDEWALKS ARE FOR PEOPLE 
 DAY? :::\nAnything you want! Be creative -- or not. It doesn't matter! Just 
 be sure to have fun on the sidewalk and invite friends, family, and 
 neighbors to join you. Please avoid obstructing the free flow of our fellow 
 San Franciscans!\n\nTake pictures and shoot video to document your event. 
 Post your event on the interactive map (coming soon to our website) so that 
 we can show that people all across our fair city love our public 
 spaces.\n\nWe will provide you with some basic materials to hand out to 
 curious pedestrians, along with tools to support you in orchestrating this 
 in the most effective way. Other than that, we leave it up to you to 
 organize the best event that you can. You can do whatever you want, but 
 please do something!\n\nCONTACT: info@StandAgainstSitLIe.org if you have 
 questions or would like to offer your skills and passion to help put this 
 event together.\n\nNEEDED!\nArtists, videographers, photographers, help 
 with outreach, etc.\n
