Solidarity with Denmark rally - NYC
Mark your calendars for the Solidarity with Denmark rally in Manhattan.
FRIDAY, MARCH 3RD
12:00 PM TO 1:00 PM.
outside the Danish consulate at One Dag Hammarskjold Plaza,
885 Second Avenue (at 47th St), New York
From the organizer:
I've been in touch with the consul-general himself, and he has graciously welcomed us. I promised the event would be as civilized and dignified as this noble cause demands, and in order to obviate a city permit, please note that NO electronically amplified sound equipment or bullhorns may be used. But signs and placards - the cleverer the better - are of course highly encouraged. Relevant cheeses, plastic toy building blocks and Shakespeare allusions also . . . . .
Pix and video from the D.C. rally last Friday.
Also read: "MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism" (signed by Irshad Manji, Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and others)
UPDATE: Rallies planned for San Francisco, Chicago, London, and more - more info here.
UPDATE: There is still time to make placards for tomorrow. If you want to stop by Kinko's and print out a huge Protest-Warrior-style full-color placard, here's a graphic for you. It's a hi-rez tiff file, so should reproduce well at poster size.
Van listed some ideas in the comments. I will reproduce them here where the paragraph breaks will be respected. Some of them are really funny and inspired, so please continue reading:
Since I'm a poor artist but an OK writer, I'll throw out these placard ideas. In keeping with the spirit of things, they focus on what we offer:
What part of "freedom of the press" do you not understand?
1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Victory over Terrorists
Live Free or Die: Good for New Hampshire, Good for America
The Little Mermaid Does NOT Wear a Burkha! (great Photoshop possibility)
A Danish a day keeps Sharia away
Kufirs for Freedom
Hands off the Vikings
We're a Christian nation, but we won't turn the other cheek
The 7th century does not come after the 21st century
Free speech > Religious intolerance
Free speech rulez, repression droolz
Freedom is just another word for everything to lose
Oink if you love freedom (Photoshop alert!)

I cannot be there in person,but I am in spirit ! May God bless you all !
I'm excited about the March 3 demo to support Denmark. Since I'm a poor artist but an OK writer, I'll throw out these placard ideas. In keeping with the spirit of things, they focus on what we offer:
What part of "freedom of the press" do you not understand?
1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Victory over Terrorists

This is a great and noble idea, but 48 hours notice is a bit difficult for those of us not in NYC. Unlike professional protesters, we've jobs, families, etc :->. I wish you a successful rally; if you don't get the numbers you desire the first time, please try again, but with a bit more advance notice so we've time to pass information across the chains and organize.

Good luck with the rally. Make sure you have videocameras on hand to document the bahavior of those who might show up to disrupt.

Love to be there but sorry I've got a job. Next time try Saturday.
