05jstone has looked at West Olive Avenue (the street where Nickelodeon Animation Studios is located) and the sidewalk should be wide enough for a big protest. And according to this article (www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/…), there are some things he's discovered:

-Your rights are strongest in what are known as “traditional public forums,” such as streets, sidewalks, and parks. You also likely have the right to speak out on other public property, like plazas in front of government buildings, as long as you are not blocking access to the government building or interfering with other purposes the property was designed for.

-You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as marchers don’t obstruct vehicle or pedestrian traffic. If you don’t have a permit, police officers can ask you to move to the side of a street or sidewalk to let others pass or for safety reasons.

-Certain types of events may require permits. These include a march or parade that requires blocking traffic or street closure, thereby opening the possibility of asking for West Olive Avenue to be closed thereby increasing the number of protesters.

-While certain permit procedures require submitting an application well in advance of the planned event, police can’t use those procedures to prevent a protest in response to breaking news events.

-A permit cannot be denied if the event is controversial or will express unpopular views.

-If the permit regulations that apply to your protest require a fee for a permit, they should allow a waiver for those who cannot afford the charge. So make sure you have enough money.

And don't forget, remember to spread the news of the protest so other supporters can get organized themselves.

Remember, November 6th. BE THERE.
