Thank you for pre-registering for the upcoming protest on Saturday, May 10, 2008. Please print this page and use it for quick reference in coordinating your participation in this protest.
| Attendees Count |
The number of attendees has been a concern of both the Organizers and City Officials. With the date quickly approaching we need to ensure that those attending the protest are pre-registered (this data is increasing by the hour). Please understand that this information is very critical for the City of Anaheim to help ensure the safety and welfare of both the protesters and the community-at-large. If they only prepare for 100 protesters and 500 show up it can create problems for officer assignments and critical emergency operations within the City. Remember the actual number of attendees is only shared with the City of Anaheim for logistics and planning. |
