Protests Tomorrow and Saturday

This Friday and Saturday, downtown Tacoma will be targeted by protesters who are against the Northwest Detention Center in the Tideflats.

According to a flyer distributed by some of the protesters, their goal is “shutting down the downtown area of Tacoma to send a very clear message that will be heard by the powers that be.” However, UWT and businesses in the area are planning for normal operations with extra vigilance.

The BIA blog published some tips for business owners and downtown workers on dealing with the protests.

Maybe it’ll be a big deal.  Maybe it won’t be.  We’d just like to ask that if any of you are looking to ‘stick it to the man’ tomorrow, please be nice to the rest of us.
