Orange County, CA
Date: May 1
Students in Orange County should march to two strategic locations:
Ed Royce
305 N. Harbor Blvd., Suite 300
Fullerton, CA
or
Ronald Reagan Federal Building
411 W. 4th St.
Santa Ana, CA
Some points for students to consider:
- No violence or property destruction
- Avoid profanity or racial insults
- Make sure all signs are spelled correctly and free of grammatical errors.
- If someone asks about the flag you wave, tell the person you carry it to express cultural and ethnic pride, not to show allegiance to any government.
- Be wary of any informational forum held by police, schools, or government agencies. They want to mislead you with political jargon and empty promises. Don't fall for it!

We will have a sit on the campus marketplace (where they sell food from corporations like Carl's Jr and Taco Bell). In this we will attempt to disrup business as usual at school. We will have speakers from the community and entertainment as well as a pot luck for food so we will not consume from the school. It is an event on campus but everyone from the community is invited to join us especially high school students that may not have something to go to.
8am-3pm: In rememberence to the Civil Rights we will have a sit in at the Campus Marketplace. Going on: open mike, teatro and information about the diverse organizations supporting this event. 3pm-6pm Community BBQ. Speakers and entertainment to celebrate our diverse community.
