[Ct-nfb] Permit to Protest

Sun Aug 19 03:12:00 UTC 2012

Hello to the best of my knowledge  you don't need a permit to  protest  in 
front of the establishment  in which there is an issue  with things like 
that I believe only involve union places,contracts,etc. Take  care

Hi All,  

Does anybody know if our chapter needs a permit to assemble inn a  peaceful
manner? It is my understanding that people that want to protest  would have
to go through their towns. Anyway, please correct if I am  wrong.

Thanks

Terry

Terry:

I'm  going to re-post your questions and my responses to them.

1.   How will we get to our respective Good Will Store? Will vans  be
provided?
Response: Maybe.  Maybe not.  Where would you  expect vans to meet us?  Were
you hoping for them to pick people up at  their houses like school buses?

2.      How will the  lumber be procured and who will staple the signs to 
the
lumber? Surly, you  don't expect us to go out and shop for 4 foot pieces of
lumber and staple  the signs to the 4ft of lumber. Some of us are totally
blind nor do we have  significant others to assist us.
Response: How is eyesight a requirement  for shopping for lumber?  Why is
vision required to staple signs to  pieces of lumber?  I can understand why
individuals might not want to  bear the costs of the lumber, but I don't
understand why eyesight or  significant others assisting us would be
necessary.  I've done this  kind of thing before and never needed a
significant other to  help.

3.      I have a good will store right on Town  line Rd., right in back of
Stop&Shop. Is this our protest  site?
Response: It is a protest site, but not necessarily the only  one.  As the
communications from national have said, we need to be  present at all
Goodwill stores in the United States.  Yours is most  likely not the only 
one
in Connecticut, so not all Connecticut affiliate  protesters would be going
to your store...unless it is the only Goodwill  store in Connecticut.

4.      Who is the site  coordinator for our  site.
Response: Good question.  I'm sure  Beth and the rest of the state board are
actively looking for people to  take on those roles.  If you want to help,
offer to  help!

5.      Where is our site?
Response: Another  good question.  I bet the one right near you is a good 
one
to be your  site, but the communications from national said that we would be
protesting  at all Goodwill locations in the United States.

I have not had a  planning role in these protests, but I am quite simply
regurgitating  information that I have read in the mass communications from
national that  we all received.  Some of my responses have simply been
philosophical  reactions to questions that seem to underestimate the
competence of blind  people.  We really can perform these normal tasks if we
have the right  skills and training.

I hope that helped.

Yours in  Federationism,

Elizabeth,

My questions still have not been  answered.

1.      How will we get to our respective Good  Will Store? Will vans be
provided?

2.      How will  the lumber be procured and who will staple the signs to 
the
lumber? Surly,  you don't expect us to   go  out and shop for 4 foot  pieces
of lumber and staple the signs to the 4ft of lumber. Some of us  are

3.      I have a good  will store right on Town line Rd., right in back of
Stop&Shop. Is this  our protest site?

4.      Who is the site coordinator  for our  site.

5.      Where is our site?

As  time is getting short, please answer the above  ASAP.

Thanks

Terry

All:

I received the following message  from Jeanie Massay, the President of our
Oklahoma affiliate.  She  reports about Dorothy Robinson, a dedicated member
of the Federation,  committed to making a difference in our fight for fair
wages.  Let us  all exhibit the same spirit.

Find your local Goodwill Thrift Store at:  http://locator.goodwill.org/, and
get one of the attached Goodwill  informational protest site registration
forms to me ASAP.

Anil,
Hi, hope this finds you happy and well.
I  have a comment on one of our chapters regarding the upcoming  Goodwill
protest. Dorothy Robinson, Chapter President of our south Central  Oklahoma
Chapter contacted me today to inform me that there was no Goodwill  Thrift

Store in her city. However, she also let me know that her  chapter had all
agreed to take the flyers to each of the respective members  churches to
distribute and educate their city about sub-minimum  wages.
Dorothy also took it upon herself to find a chapter where she will  be on 
the
weekend that we conduct the protest. Her son and daughter live in  Arlington
TX. Dorothy contacted the Texas Affiliate to find the Arlington  Chapter and
find out where she can help.
Dorothy is a fantastic example  of practicing what we believe and preach I
hope to see her on the news in  Texas!
