About this event
50501 Georgia Presents: Death of a Democracy, a Die-In Demonstration.
Earthly beloveds, we gather at Oak Hill at Piedmont Park on Sunday, May 18th to mourn the loss of our rights and freedoms.
The sickness has been a long time coming but seemed to get here all at once. The dying happened quickly, just a short miserable few months. Civil liberties always seemed to be hemmoraging so that one came as no surprise. But basic human rights for all quickly crippled before our eyes. The rule of law was one we thought was strong enough to persevere, yet as they bought out congress, the dying growing ever near. Due Process was halted by security as it bled out in the door. But once they come for healthcare, even the privileged can hide no more. The media came to film the parade of clowns driving the ambulance. Yet instead of sirens blaring out, twas lies from trump, and musk, and vance. And now the time is near my friends, times almost running out... And now we rise to show them all, what freedom's really all about!
Join us in solidarity as we mourn the future that donald wants. To show that there will be no dearly departed for the billionaires to celebrate. Rise with us in unity as we demand justice and accountability.
The procession starts at 1:00PM at Oak Hill at piedmont park. Any one can participate by dressing in your best funeral gear or death and dying makeup and make a 'death to...' tombstone instead of the traditional protest sign. See below for ideas! Wear sunscreen and bring cash to use our cemetery photo booth and donate to the organization 50501 Georgia, Inc. and help further our goals of reinstating the Constitution and hold corrupt official accountable. DONT FORGET YOUR REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE, pretty please :) although waters and snacks will be available complements of our badass volunteers. Speakers for the event are Nora Pullen, Jessica Blinkhorn, and Dr. Queen Porchse Miller.
