Evanston residents will be returning to Fountain Square to protest against the Trump/Musk regime (their crimes are far too numerous to list here), to protest against fascism, racism and oligarchy, and to rally in favor of democracy, diversity, and human rights. Fountain Square is a very convenient place to protest, so we will try to make this a weekly recurring protest.

No RSVP necessary - you can just show up.

Bring signs, banners, and flags. Several free printed plastic corrugated signs will be provided.

If Indivisible or 50501 schedules a protest here at the same time, we will merge our protest with theirs.

NOTE ON FLAGS AND SYMBOLS:

Please do not display actual swastikas or SS symbols on your signs. These symbols are stressful to see regardless of the context, even if you are using them to call someone else a Nazi. We'll be calling Elon Musk a Nazi with words.

On account of occurrences at other protests in the area, DO NOT display Hamas flags or OUN-B flags. Anyone displaying these flags or other antisemitic symbols will be shouted out of the protest. This is a pro-Jewish rally and we take fighting antisemitism seriously. (Palestinian and Ukrainian flags are fine.)

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE:

In order to maintain accessibility for sound-sensitive participants, please do not bring noisemakers or portable Bluetooth speakers to this protest. Some protesters will be listening to music on their headphones, and nobody likes to hear different music overlapping with the music in their headphones. Bluetooth speakers are not legal in Evanston's public parks because of noise pollution issues.

This protest is intended to be a space where protesters can display signs and converse with other protesters without drowning out those conversations in useless noise. A noisy protest would be counterproductive at this location.

A bullhorn will be on hand for emergencies but will not be used during the ordinary course of the protest.
