Few tips.... hold your sign perpendicular to the street so it can be seen by traffic both ways.
Talking is fine but please be sure all signs can be seen.
It is very important to cover both entrances if you have enough people.
DO NOT come alone, especially women. You can always sit in your car and pray if alone.
When a vehicle is pulling out of the lot, back up on the grass so they can see oncoming traffic.
Do not engage people who are swearing, laying on their horn, or shouting.
Let them know the exchange or conversation is over, walk away from them and continue your vigil.
Relocate on the Sidewalk or on the Public Right-of-Way across the street.
Video for the record, any such unpleasant interactions.
If you can, safely photograph/film events.
What’s Prohibited:
Parking on the parking lot we stand in front of.
Blocking a person’s access to the entrance of a facility. Impairing cars from entering and/or exiting a facility.
Physically stopping people as they are trying to walk toward an entrance or through a parking lot.
Safety and Conduct:
1. Stay safe, always.
2. Never be alone after dark.
3. If you feel threatened, leave and call the police.
4. If the police arrive, be polite and cooperative, they know we are there and respect our rights.
7. Do not let anyone tell you that you have to leave other than a Police officer, which has never happened.
Make sure ALL your team members know the rules.
