Bad, or good first?
The bad is this:
The next City Council meeting is August 6 at 4:30, and the agenda for that meeting is already set.
Mike Flanders' assistant says that there is really no way to get 'green sheeted' in order to be on that agenda.
Who's creative enough to tell me, that there is a way?
The good news is:
I have a meeting with Councilman Flanders on Monday at 3:00, the day of the meeting.
Whether or not that will help us get on that night's agenda, I have no idea, but at least it's progress.
Maybe we can have some sort of emergency green sheet, or something.
I wish there was a way to get on that agenda, get our permission, and keep on chalking.
It's too bad that someone finds issue with our project.
I just hope that there are people who don't, and who are willing to help out, and get this done with us.
Thanks, guys.
Willie.

Sorry to hear you were stopped.
If you are blocking sidewalks or causing a disturbance they have a legit reason for stopping you.
If they don't like your art or politics they have no right to stop you. They can jail and fine you, but you might win any court case after many years and lots of $$$.
Good luck with the city council. Remember your acts are non-destructive as the chalk just washes off with a little water. You are not a march or protest so you should not need permits. You are simply citizens engaging in free expression on public property.
Portland is known for being liberal and it is known for how nice all the people are. So, we have things a little easier.
Keep up the good work,

Willie, Kudos to you for your efforts so far. Don't give up in your quest. Consider asking private land owners in the down town area to participate in your memorial by granting permission to do your drawings on private land.
