Kick Them Out! June 15th – July 6th
A coalition of Seattle area groups is hosting coordinated bannering events on many of the overpass bridges in the Seattle area before each of the World Cup games. Represent the Eastside to say to the world ‘Kick Them Out’! Kick Out ICE, Kick Out the Fascists, Kick Out the corrupt regime!
Indivisible Eastside will be holding banners on three overpass bridges for 2 hours before each game and one bridge after a few games. The timing is coordinated with other bannering throughout the area. Indivisible Eastside will provide the banners, participants may bring their own signs.
Volunteers have the option of selecting one or both hourlong shifts. Depending on the weather, it may be hot on the bridges so bring water and dress for the conditions. There may not be easy access to a restroom so plan accordingly.
