> My name is Allie, and I'm a recent transplant to the coast. I was  
> referred to you by Margaret Holub--I reached out to her to see if  
> she knew of any local solidarity responses in the works to the  
> grand jury decision rendered today in Ferguson. She said that you  
> were the person to ask!
>
> If there isn't anything specifically being planned already, I'd  
> like to organize a brief candlelight vigil/public moment of silence  
> Tuesday evening (or as a second-best option, Wednesday around  
> lunchtime). I know the short notice and impending holiday are  
> somewhat problematic for scheduling, but I think it would be  
> valuable to come together and share our frustration and grief while  
> the energy is there nationally (and then perhaps to come together  
> again in the next week or two to have a more complex conversation  
> about race and police brutality locally, if there's interest--I  
> definitely want to make sure that existing work in the community is  
> signal-boosted and amplified). For the purposes of a vigil,  
> Margaret said that in front of the Fort Bragg town hall is a common  
> gathering space--do you happen to know if that requires a permit?
>
> Thanks so much for your time and attention--especially as a  
> newcomer, I'd be very grateful for any input or thoughts you're  
> able to give! I look forward to hearing from you.

> Best,
