This law, banning public assemblies in any of the city's 4 parking garages and 20 parking lots, was initiated by Mayor Ryan Coonerty in December of 2005 and passed in its full repulsiveness in the fall of 2007.

Andreas was ticketed there last Friday (see his brief account at http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/03/15/18485843.php).

He'll flesh out the account, take phone calls, and describe the upcoming Friday protest on the air. Call in at 831-427-3772.

The Friday "narwallagraphic protest", as Andreas calls it, is scheduled for 9 PM 3-21 at the parking lot at Laurel and Front Streets.

For prior discussion of other Parking Lot Panic protests, see

These protests successfully reclaimed the right of drummers, Food Not Bombs, and ordinary sunbathers to use the parking lot as it was traditionally used.

I encourage the community to check out Andreas and support his right to peacefully assemble in public space.
