We made it in the Reader. View the article (link below)

Act now for artists’ jobs and freedom. Link to our on-line petition.

Our response was great for our first email. It is good to build slowly and firmly. Follow our/your free speech artist movement activity at

and on my blog at

If you are pressed for time or unsure about your ability to converse on your first amendment rights – read my blog. In my real stories about selling on the street in Chicago I will write about my opinions of how our laws work and how the authorities try to play us. Please comment on my blog posts. I will point you to places to follow up if you wish to form a solid personal knowledge on your speech rights in Chicago and America. I also explain how these laws affect real artists trying to make it in Chicago. I know you care, so it is my job to learn how to organize those on this list in a way that fits your particular every-day struggle. You can help me by letting me know how you might like to help or by giving us a suggestion, friendly critiques or complements by e-mail. We can talk!

Help build the discussion and our list of supporters to change Chicago. Everyone on this list knows one person who would benefit from artists being able to sell their work in art scenes that are maintained and promoted collectively by artists regularly gathering in open-air art scenes where they do and sell their work in public.

Send this letter with a short introduction to a friend and ask them to sign our on-line petition.

Keep a copy of our petition on you and invite friends to sign it.

Add an on-line activity that volunteers can do to support our cause so we can include it in our next email to our network.
