Heyyyy,

Mark all y'alls calendars for Friday, March 13th at 4 o'clock. Plan to be in
downtown Northampton.

BB Sunshine & Ira McKinley of Poverty is not a Crime (PINAC) and the Block Party
Brigade are hosting a CELEBRATION of the death of the anti-panhandling
ordinance, Prop 285-53.

But that's not all! The FIGHT is not over, this party is going to be a musical
street theatre spectacle to protest the Business Improvement District...and we
want you to be in it!

We will be assembling in front of City Hall at 4, but it would be good for
people to join us a couple of minutes in for effect. We will be jamming and
playing music! We will be passing out literature on specific points of the BID
that this demonstration is opposing. March/dancing up and down the streets!
Wear costumes! Bring instruments and cameras! Bring [not necessarily original
copy, unless you're comfy with that] your artwork! Make some NOISE! Life is a
MUSICAL! and Northampton is not a MALL!

For more info on the racist, classist piece of proposed legislation called the
BID, go to http://nobid.tk. We must postpone the March 19th City Council vote,
that's over 5-College students' spring break!!!

TELL ANYONE WHO VALUES PUBLIC SPACE, THE RIGHT OF POOR FOLKS TO LIVE IN A
COLLEGE TOWN, AND DEMOCRACY, TO COME.

Honey and Harmony and Power to Us, BB Sunshine
