Push Back Picnic @ Union Sq!

Anarchists and church members, (Stop Shopping, of course!) First Amendment Defenders and yoga practitioners, children and caregivers, skateboarders and students, workers just having lunch and lovers lured towards a romantic rendezvous are ALL requested to reclaim Union Square as the people’s park, a not-for-profit piece of real estate
WE PAY FOR WITH TAX DOLLARS!
First, the word from the anarchists:
Friends and Neighbors,

Celebrate this year's national nativity party ye olde fashioned way...
COME TO THE PUSH BACK PICNIC JULY 2ND, 6:00PM,
BY THE ABE LINCOLN STATUE

There will be Watermelon.
As the nation prepares to celebrate it's 232nd Birthday, and the Union Square BID (Business Improvement District) prepares to privatize the LANDMARKED Pavilion building, come join the Community Improvement District (CID), along with your favorite radical heroes of Union Square for an olde tyme hoedown and radical auction action. Make a bid on your favorite national chain store franchise! Dance circles around stodgy, stogie-smoking, sell-out politicians! Marvel as the park pushes back against the greedy takeover artists!
Let's push back the privatizers and keep Union Square a place for public gatherings, public rallies, and public play! PUSH BACK THE BID! UNION SQUARE IS NOT FOR SALE! more info: www.unionsquarenotforsale.org
Here’s the word from the good Rev. Billy:
Picnic And PUSH-BACK At The Pit Of Sin!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 5pm-7pm
at Union Square in Manhattan
The Reverend and Savitri are leaving for a while, and they'd like the chance to say goodbye to the Church on Wednesday, July 2nd from 5pm to 7pm...near the Abomination Medley of Squalid Temptation known as the construction site at Union Square. We'll start at 5 pm with our petition gathering and 1st Amendment singing at the NW corner, then retire to the picnic area near the Abraham Lincoln statue at six o'clock.
Exorcisms and possessions of the spirit are always a possibility, but the ordinary fun of a July picnic will offer a safe alternative for those of you who don't have to go "over the top and into the bullets." There are many ways to enjoy and help us resist the theft of our parks by vulture investors. So bring some food and drink, let's remember our remarkable year - and create a blessing for the future!
