- For the convenience of our constituents, protest hours are 10:00-14:00 every second Thursday of the month.
- Citizens may apply for a protest permit at their local post office.
- In the event that potential protestors have different local post offices, each protestor must apply at all applicable post offices, indicating their post code of origin on the back of page 27 (BLUE INK ONLY).
- Duplicate applications will be denied.
- Please state clearly the reason for the proposed protest in the application in 25 words or less.
- Applications take approximately 6-8 weeks per word to process. Successful applicants will be notified by post no later than 12 April of the following year.
- Approved protests must be addressed to the brick wall behind the library and are confined to the space enclosed by the chain link fence.
- If multiple approved protests occur on the same day, please form a queue, tallest to shortest. The group with the most amount of members in the top quartile will be granted the protest space for the day. Others will need to re-apply after a 60-day probationary period.
- Chants will be kept to a conversational speaking volume.
- For the safety of the public, no food or drink will be allowed.
- Infractions of the rules as outlined in the application will result in the locking of the fence gate for a period of no less than 6 days.
- Further punishments are determined at the sole discretion of the Peaceable Protest Committee. Sentences start at 5 years with no maximum. Appeals may be made after the sentence has been served.
