Last Sunday, March 1 st , Indivisible ADK/Saratoga (IAS) held a planning meeting
for No Kings3 March 28 (Save the Date!). We reviewed preparatory tasks, organized
teams, and invited volunteers to make our voices heard. Additional meetings will be
announced soon. FLYER ABOVE
Sign/Poster making sessions will occur on Saturdays March 14 th and 21 st from
1:15 – 2:45 in the Dutcher Room, SSPL. Please bring sign-making markers (water-
proof recommended) and sign boards; extra materials will be available. This is great
opportunity to make friends before marching or protesting! We’ll draw signs by hand & taping &
assembling printed signs. Helpful Links: Sign images you can download & print
Note: IAS asked that we not share notes or member lists, due to privacy concerns
among vulnerable people, such as students, people of color, friends, neighbors, and
patriots, like Renee Good and Alex Pretti (RIP). To learn about IAS or No Kings3,
contact any SJT member, or join IAS, link: https://indivisibleadksaratoga.org/
Ongoing: “Post Office Vigils,” Saturdays – Noon to 1:00 p.m. (corners of
Broadway & Lake/Church). Spring’s peeking over the horizon, so it’s easier &
safer to meet and join Indivisible ADK/Saratoga organizers, UUs, and other
troublemakers for fellowship, furballs (Charlie, Teva, et al), refreshing support from
passersby & driversby, and (rare) loud MAGA pickups (so cool…right!). Represent
UUC-SS by wearing yellow scarves (thanks, Lucy) and “Side with Love” T-shirts!
Cheers!
