Seattle's Capitol Hill will have it's own activities that involve Seattle Central Community College and Seattle University, as well as the surrounding community. Then the focus will turn to the events downtown. From an earlier post: From Dina Lydia: "I am making original signs, some with props and costumes, for two major political rallies in Seattle next week, Martin Luther King Day and Inauguration Day (see details below). I think rallies should be fun as well as serious--that will encourage people to participate. The type of signs I make can be seen here. I obviously can't carry all of these signs myself! I need volunteers to help make statements at the rallies. The signs/costumes get a lot of attention, and some good photo-ops for the media. One idea I had was to have someone dressed as Lady Liberty (ideally not a guy) to represent the 34Dems or West Seattle, since we have the statue at Alki Beach. I can also help anyone make a sign with the name of their neighborhood, or the group they wish to represent, for the I-Day Rally "call-out" event onstage. For those who cannot attend the rallies, but wish to make a statement, I have some bright red posters from NION to put in your window on I-Day. They read: "Not my President! NO!" Those wishing to participate with me, please call Dina 206-517-8033 or dinalydia@yahoo.com. INAUGURAL DAY PROTEST RALLY--sponsored by "Not in Our Name" Project and A.N.S.W.E.R (Act Now Stop War End Racism, seattle@internationalanswer.org- (206) 568-1661)-- Thursday, Jan. 20, 2 PM- Westlake Park, 4th and Pine in downtown Seattle. The rally will converge at the Federal Building for the A.N.S.W.E.R event by 5 PM.
