LINK to register or find out more: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/100000-enough-is-enough-rally-bernie-sanders-for-president-tickets-19130771653?aff=efbnreg

FROM THE SITE:

This is a grassroots rally lead by an organizer who has 20 years of protest and rally organizing experience. We will not ask you for any money and everyone is responsible for their own materials regarding signs and banners.

We have an amazing announcement. Dr Cornel West will march with us and speak when we rally at the Lincoln Memorial. Dr. West is an outspoken civil rights activist, professor, intellectual, and author. His presence with us will help us all make history. We will build an even greater groundswell for Bernie together at this historic event.

It is up to YOU to make this happen with us. In order to build we need a minimum of 50 volunteers to commit at least 30 minutes every day to spreading this event all around facebook. Out of thousands of attendees we know there are 50 of you who can spend 30 minutes daily posting this event. This 30 minutes can be at any time of day that works for you and doesn't have to be the same time every day. Please email us at enoughisenoughdc@gmail.com to let us know you are committing to being one of the 50. We need to know you are there.

Spread the message EVERYWHERE:

- Bernie pages
- State pages and state Bernie pages
- City pages and city Bernie pages
- Colleges and Universities in every state
- those same colleges and universities Bernie club pages
- CNN (regular, politics, internation), Forbes, NYT, LA Times, Huffington Post, Huffington Post Politcs. NOW, NOW Politics, Slate, Salon, The Hill, Politco, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, any and all online media page on facebook where you can post
- Democracy pages
- Progressive pages
- Republican pages
- Libertarian pages
- Independent pages
- Groups: join every Bernie group page you can on facebook and introduce yourself to the admin. Let them know what we are doing. Post our event in the main body of the group as an independent post - this reaches the most people in groups.
- IN THE PAGES - only post to the top most popular posts that have already been put there by the page - post in the comments sections and under comments that have more than 5 replies - this is how you get exposure on pages - doing your own post just gets filtered to the side and few if any see it.

Here is a short and postive message to copy and paste as your post:

On the details of the rally:

Is the rally legal?

Yes it is. Under the First Amendment of the US Constitution citizens have a right to free speech and to demonstrate on public property. The mall is no different. We have organized and attended large 20K plus person rallies on the mall that were not permitted. There is no illegality in this. No one was arrested. As long as we are peaceful, which we will be, no one will be arrested. We will not have a bandstand, TVs, or other permanent fixtures. We will be moving, we will congregate at the end and speeches may be made through bullhorns. Our ending congregation will last about one hour. This is not illegal. The people telling you that it is have not oganized a rally, ever. They have no interest in attending any rally. They have one sole purpose and that is to sabotage the run Bernie is making for president.

Where?

We will map a one mile course through the Mall and we will evaluate what that course will be closer to the event. there are a few construction projects going on in the mall now and those need to be considered on a current basis, closer to the date. All attendees will receive regular updates at minimum weekly.

Will Bernie be there?
Bernie is aware of the event. There is no guarantee he will be there. Announcements about any speakers of note will be made as they are confirmed.


Why don't you list this on the campaign website?

This rally, like many other large rallies planned by individuals across the country, will not be listed on the Bernie website. The reason being, we are not campaign employees and this is not a campaign event, though several of us are active volunteers for the campaign, and the campaign will not control this large scale event. No large scale rallies that are not planned by the campaign are on their site. We are not on the campaign website because FCC standards prohibit the campaign sponsring this or any other large rallies that are not of its own making.

It will be too cold in November.

The average temperate in DC on November 28 is 45 degrees. It may be colder, it may not. We recommend that everyone wear layers and warm shoes and gloves in order to be comfortable.

BUT YOU SET THIS ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

There were many timing considerations when choosing the best date to do this rally. First, there was a rally of 111K people that was floundering for months which we had to wait to see finish, and it finally did on October 5, 2015 when those organizers, for whatever their problems were (one we believe putting money in the equation) finally pulled the plug. We created this rally on October 6. There are considerable underhanded doings going on RIGHT NOW as far as corporate media maniupulating the debate results, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC manipulating there being hardly any debates, and the time we must act is NOW. The early primaries are in February, Super Tuesday the first week of March, and the weather in DC gets too bitter to do this at Christmas time or in January or February. So, we are doing it on a weekend where a lot of people don't have to work Friday or Saturday and we are sorry for the inconvenience but this is the firm date and it will not change. Families are welcome and there will be children there.

TRANSPORATION

Check our facebook event page form the link we posted above - you can look look for shared transporation in your area to the rally. A Rally Bus can be booked from your area for a minimum of 25 passengers. We are not Rally Bus and have no deals with Rally Bus, they are a separate service and we profilt nothing from you using their service to get ayour group to the event.

YOUR SIGN OR BANNER

Please start thinking now of having your own large sign made or banners are even better. All we ask is that you refrain from any and all hate speech. We ask that you feature BERNIE'S name prominently at the top of our sign. Other than that please highlight whatever issue is important to you: Corporate Welfare, big banks, institutionalzied racism, Black Lives Matter, Free college, crippling college debt, the 1% paying their fair share of taxes, the DNC choking of democracy by limtiing debates, corporate media lying to the public, gay rights, women's rights, healthcare, family leave, wage inequality, fair minimum wage, UNIONS.

People should bring their signs to the rally, drums are also a great thing to have, If you have a bullhorn, bring it.

VOLUNTEERS

We need day of rally volunteers who will have their own bullhorn. (40 bucks on Amazon) We are looking for 20 volunteers who will meet with us before the rally and understand the route we are walking. They will be placed at positions around the walking crowd to give instructions and make sure everything remains on track.

This is OUR RALLY people and the time has never been more urgent to send a message:

THIS ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY THE PEOPLE, NOT THE 1%.

Our contact email is enoughisenoughdc@gmail.com

Please email us if you will be a FACEBOOK daily 30 minute volunteer - we need you now.
Please email us if you will be a day-of volunteer. People with prior rally experience, particularly occupy experience are encouraged.

Fellow citizens, America is lulled into sleep with capitalism, consumerism, reality TV - we must wake up now before it is too late. Please activate, join us, and be with us on Nov. 28. Please work with us to make this known everywhere on social media. OUR TIME IS NOW.

THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE UNLESS THE CITY IS UNDERWATER.

Please, do NOT register/ RSVP if you are not attending the rally. We appreciate your kind support but we need to know somewhat accurate numbers.

You do not need to print or bring your ticekt to the event. Just come.

please be cautious. I called Dr West's office, he's not booked to appear. Another friend called the NPS, there's no permit.
And now I've read that the organizers say they don't even need a permit!

How will this cf reflect on Bernie?
How do you feel advertising this to low income folks who are now budgeting?

Investigate for yourself instead of falling for this because you read it online

I'd like to call myself.

I see him on twitter. He does support Sanders. I have tweeted him to ask if he intends to appear at that rally. Will see if he responds.

my husband used to work with him many eons ago at Yale. I don't feel comfortable giving the number but his event coordinator should be informative
The organizers on fb said, Cornel would confirm via social media this week.

This is what I think, they didn't think anyone would be able to contact Cornel and they also didn't envision someone else actually checking with the park service

...from their FB page:

You have to have a permit! Everyone will be arrested!
A: This is false. We have done the research. We are walking peacefully. No one will get arrested, unless of course someone wants to act out violently - in that case we are not responsible. We are peaceful.


It also states that West is to confirm on his FB page that he is attending the rally. I see he doesn't up date his FB page daily so we'll see. https://www.facebook.com/drcornelwest/

...2-3 posts and they are of THIS nature? He/She could be telling the truth -- but it's very suspicious.

Bytheway no response yet to my tweet to Mr. West.

9. A misunderstanding?

i absolutely think you two should go to the "rally" I just don't think that people should budget for this event.
It's way too precarious, the park service says a permit has been applied for within the last two weeks but it's unlikely to be granted at this late date. People do need a permit despite what you've read.
And the last I read, Dr. West, according to the organizers, would confirm his attendance this week. So by the end of today, he'll confirm when his event coordinator told me several days ago, it's not on the calendar?
But please, call the park service, call Dr.Wests office, do your homework instead of parroting what you've read online!

You claim YOU do but won't share it. Isn't that interesting?

What the hell is the matter with you? You come here claiming this whole event is a lie and claim you verified that it's a lie because YOU called West's office. When asked for the number, you refuse to provide it, even privately. Then you berate me and others for NOT CALLING HIS OFFICE to verify.

SERIOUSLY?

Do not trust trolls. Read this blog: https://steventodd.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/bernie-sanders-enough-is-enough-rally-idea/ There were some issues with leadership but it is finally on track and firmly confirmed. You can even get free accommodation from Bernie supporters in D.C. who would put you up in exchange for a donation to the campaign. http://allevents.in/washington/washington-dc-bed-and-breakfast-residents-to-host-visitors-to-enough-is-enough-rally-in-washington-d/151628151844432#

People are carpooling and rally busing. This is totally happening. It's just not an official campaign event and they don't have a permit. But the organizer has years of experience in rallies and she knows what she is talking about. Listen to her radio interview with Voice of Kansas (Mike Pryor) if you are doubtful.
