Anarchist Resistance to the inauguration update #4
Update #4 - 1/13/05
As the final weekend before the inauguration is upon us, DC Anarchist Resistance wishes to remind and inform participants in the weeks coming activities of new developments and several pieces of important information.
Change in meeting point for Anarchist March
First off, the gathering point for the contingent has changed locations from Franklin Square Park to Logan Circle, we'll gather on the east side of 13th between Rhode Island and P St. NW. The location was changed after news was received that Franklin Sq. Park was to be used as a police staging area. The gathering time remains the same, 12:30 pm.
More information about state security planning, including road closings, security checkpoints, and law enforcement estimates can be found at the following websites:

Inauguration Shutdown Of Downtown Extensive (Washington Post)
A High Level of Alert for the Inauguration (New York Times)
Presently, throngs of protestors have begun their descent upon Washington DC, as well as the thousands of police, federal agents, and military personnel. Because of this, there are many precautions that all careful anarchists should heed before, during, and after the week's activities.
Remembering to take careful consideration concerning ones wardrobe and appearance can help avoid headaches when it comes to probing police and pesky Federal Agents. Choosing to wear all black, or clothing with anarchist imagery in transit to one's destination may draw negative attention from authorities; instead, layer with different color clothing to keep warm and blend in with the crowds. Keep in mind too that all patches, designs, and logos are identifiable, so if anonymity is desired, keep with plain solids.Layers or another pair of clothing can also be rotated to protect from identification.
Masks (such as bandannas) are legal in the District of Columbia, but scarves will serve the same purpose as well as help to keep warm, and attract less attention. Further suggestions on protest preparedness are available at:
