advocates across the salt lake valley (and everywhere else, as far as im concerned!!!) will be joining forces to show Big Tobacco and our Legislature who has the power! whether it be flyers, or signs as big as cars... whispers, phone calls, or megaphones... our voices will be heard! oh yes... they will be heard!
WHO: You and anyone you know who cares about this issue, or just wants to have a good time.
WHAT: Telling the public and legislators that Utah cares about tobacco prevention and that we wont sit back and let Big Tobacco rob us of our health and economy.
Conduct YOUR OWN advocacy event. See www.stopthechop.com and www.project1200advocacy.blogspot.com for details and ideas.
WHEN: 4-6p.m. Friday, February 27, 2009 is the main event (but activities should start NOW, and go through March 11. any time, anywhere).
we will be meeting at 3:30 in the West High parking lot to begin a car caravan with signs and things on our cars... traveling around the city to get the word out.
at five we are going to have a rally outside the KUTV news station (just as the news starts) and shortly thereafter walk around the city with our signs and flyers to hand out!
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere across Utah (and hey, why not the nation?!).
Main event: salt lake city.
WHY: Because Big Tobacco is a greedy, evil empire and it’s high time we told them who is in charge. Lives are at stake! do it for those who have died, do it for you, and do it for the future generations!
WHAT TO BRING: bring signs to carry and signs to put on your car. feel free to decorate your car as well! see the links (noted above) for ideas on what to put on the signs.
also, if you can, make a shirt that says, " 'Thanks Utah Legislature!' yours truly, Big Tobacco" (or something more creative... that was just on the spot)
or wear a shirt that you already have that supports the tobacco-free message!
if you have ANY questions, please call or email me!
this is going to be epic.
