DESCRIPTION:Join Us to Spell “RESIST!!” on the Beach – May 31st\n\nWe’re 
 creating a human banner on the beach, spelling out the word RESIST!, with 
 each letter represented by a different color of the rainbow. Once everyone 
 is in place, we’ll take aerial photographs of the banner. This is a fun, 
 family friendly event and an impactful way to protest - invite your 
 friends!\n\nThe last human banner (“IMPEACH & REMOVE!” on April 19, 
 2025, at Ocean Beach) was featured in stunning aerial photos distributed by 
 the Associated Press worldwide. We're hoping for a similar impact in Santa 
 Cruz.\n\nHow to Participate:\nVolunteers forming the letters will wear the 
 designated color for their letter.\n\nEveryone else is encouraged to dress 
 however they like — this is Santa Cruz, so bring the tie-dye!\n\nSign up 
 to wear a specific color under a letter here:

 Travis Van Brasch have organized human banners at Ocean Beach in San 
 Francisco. Many of us from Santa Cruz have joined those events. After the 
 April gathering, we thought: “Why not do one in Santa Cruz?” Brad 
 agreed to bring his expertise, and now it’s happening!\n\nWhat to 
 Expect:\nThe letter shapes will be pre-marked in the sand. We'll stand to 
 fill them in. Here's a short video from the April 19th banner: Watch the 
 video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXNiLd59884\n\nGetting 
 There:\nPlenty of paid parking nearby. Allow extra time to park and 
 walk.\n\nAccess points: through the boardwalk (stairs at Beach St. & 
 Leibrandt) or around the river end of the boardwalk.\n\nSanta Cruz Metro 
 Route 19 stops at Pacific & Front, near the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary 
 Exploration Center.\n\nPlease Note: Dogs are not allowed on this beach\n
