Observe Moratorium Day By Yourself!Chalk Messages on the Sidewalk Elizabeth from Bay Area Code Pink writes: Write on the sidewalk in chalk the numbers of soldiers that have died or any other message you want to share about Iraq. Writing on the sidewalk in chalk is legal in San Francisco.Chalking messages on well-traveled walkways is a good way to reach a lot of people in a short time and also a popular practice on many college campuses. If the message is neat, large and simple, its impact will be greater. James H. of Ames, Iowa adds: If you live near a rural area with dairy or beef herds, it is easy to get "cow chalk" also known as "tail chalk." Shaped like a big fat crayon, this is used to mark cattle. It has more staying power than regular chalk. A. Lot. More. Staying. Power. So try and spell your message correctly—people will be reading it for weeks.The Iraq Moratorium Committee suggests that you check on local laws before you go chalking. |
