About
We are heading to Vanessa Behan show them some love, support and gratitude. They are WONDERFUL! Vanessa Behan’s vision is to provide immediate refuge for children and support to strengthen families. This evolved from the tragic story of Vanessa Kay Behan, a Spokane girl who died from child abuse injuries at the age of two. Following her death, a group of local business people established our organization so that parents would have a safe place to bring their children in the face of crises 3:30 - 4:30 we will meet at their office for a tour and information about their programs. We will also bring them thank you cards, treats and snacks. If you'd like to bring some (non-homemade) snacks that would be great! 4:30 - 5:30 we will rally in support of children and families. Intersection TBD. Will be close. We are also doing a collection of: Diapers Wipes Similac (unopened) baby formula PLEASE MAKE SURE RALLY SIGNS ARE POSITIVE! This is VERY IMPORTANT! We will not draw ANY NEGATIVE ATTENTION to Vanessa Behan. I will bring extra LOVE signs too. Hang out afterwards also TBD. As always we follow the PJALS principles of nonviolence https://pjals.org/action/#nonviolence A core principle behind all events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
