City Council to take up appeal by ACLU, vets to allow permit for 120,000 flags on Memorial Day to honor U.S. military, Iraqi civilians killed

SACRAMENTO – The Sacramento City Council has quickly added to its agenda Tuesday (beginning at 2 p.m.) the question of permitting – the city attorney quashed the permit last week – a special Memorial Day display of 120,000 flags to commemorate the deaths of U.S. troops, and Iraqi civilians in the war in Iraq.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Sacramento and a veterans group will hold a MEDIA AVAILABILITY TUESDAY at 1:45 p.m. shortly before the 2 p.m. meeting at City Hall (915 I Street).

Help us set up 120,000 flags to represent a portion of the Americans and Iraqis that have been killed in our war and occupation of Iraq.

Set-up: Sat. May 24th (and 25th if needed) starting at 9 AM on the Capitol Mall median between 2nd St. and 9th St. (We will take down the exhibit on Saturday, May 31.)

Please volunteer to help!

It will take 5 or 6 hours for 50-100 people to set it up.

We also need safety monitors on each block.

Bring your friends and family too.

If you are willing to bring some water to share, that will help people stay hydrated.

Good street parking is available on N, O, and P Streets, south of Capitol. Some of the spots are exempt from parking fees on Saturdays, but some are not. You need to read the signs carefully.
