“Are you OK?”

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse who was trying to help a woman who had been shoved down by an ICE agent and pepper-sprayed in the face. His last words were “Are you OK?” He was shot ten times.

We will be on the corner unless the roads are unsafe. The weather will be clear but expected to be cold, so make sure that you dress warmly. We’ve got signs if you don’t. We hope that you will join us, even for just a short while.

Here is the statement released by the family of Alex Pretti:

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

This is not a day for having fun slamming a press secretary. Enough said.

BOILERPLATE:

LOCATION: Public right of way, NE corner Glenwood & Brier Creek Pkwy (near Starbucks, Red Robin, in Walmart shopping center). We’ll be on the elevated grassy area along Glenwood, away from the traffic, and along the sidewalk on Brier Creek Parkway.

PARKING: Park in the adjacent shopping center parking lots but please spread out so we don’t take all the spaces nearest these businesses. They have been very tolerant of our presence; let’s keep it that way.

SIGNS: The grassy knoll area along Glenwood is elevated and safely away from traffic, giving us great visibility along and across the intersection. Don’t have a sign? We have a bunch to share!

BE KIND: This is a peaceful, non-violent demonstration. That extends to avoiding any negative interactions with passers-by. Any rude gestures or angry words should be met with a smile and a wave – and never returned in kind.
