PARKING:
Please carpool because we expect parking difficulties for our April 5th event at the Hyannis Airport Rotary (12:00PM-2:00PM).
Besides staples, you may want to park at Cape Cod Creamery which is connected to the mall parking lot. There is also space at the bottom of the lot by target. Both are also just a short walk away.
There is also the overflow parking at the mall, which is a bit further.
If you are able bodied, please consider parking at "The Landing at Hyannis (with floor & decor, t mobile, ihop, etc). I estimate it is about a 15 minute walk from there.
Another option is paid parking at the airport, with the total cost $12 or less. (https://flyhya.com/parking-transportation/parking/)
We will be around all edges of the rotary, so just stand near where you parked to avoid crossing roads unnecessarily.
SAFETY:
Make sure to stay on the grass, at least 2-3 feet away from the curb, and don't go in the road and don't go in the middle of the rotary. Safety wardens in neon vests will be there to remind people of this, and attendees please help remind others of this as well. Be mindful not to block cars visibility for entering the rotary. Notice where the "exit" sign is for your area.
The police will protect our right to protest, but if there are safety concerns, the police can and will shut us down. It is the responsibility of all attendees to follow all safety guidelines.
If there are counter protesters, DO NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. If attendees engage, the police can shut us down. We don't want this to happen!!
Notify a safety warden (in a neon vest) in your area of any disturbance immediately before it can escalate. This event will have A LOT of attendees, so everyone must act responsibility and obey instructions from organizers and police.
Attendees: Do not engage. Step away. Alert a safety warden.
Your calm response is your power.
If you feel you need to start videoing for any reason, you are encouraged to do so. It will be good record keeping. Please continue to ignore the agitator(s) and find a safety warden, in a neon vest. We don't expect any violence. We expect this to be a peaceful, safe, event to show our care, community, and courage.
Before you leave:
Make sure to leave the space better than when you arrived.
If anything needs to be cleaned up (signs, trash etc.) please lend a hand.
Also, if you're not already part of an "Indivisible" group, make sure to get a "palm card" before you leave, with a QR card of how to join. There will be donation buckets if you would like to leave a few dollars to support the "Indivisible" groups on Cape Cod.
