MCANSG Call-To-Action: Protest Against Motorcycle Club Profiling and Discrimination Against Women

Affected Club:
Devil Dolls MC

Where:
Pacific Rod and Gun Club - 520 John Muir Dr, San Francisco

When:
Sunday, April 27, 2014 - 09:30 AM to 12 Noon

Purpose:
To show our support for the Devil Dolls MC who, with just one week before their 15th Anniversary Party were unexpected cancelled by the venue. Up to this point, the Devil Dolls MC have not been provided with a specific and satisfactory reason for the cancellation. We strongly suspect motorcycle club profiling and or gender discrimination as the reason behind it. The Pacific Rod and Gun Club happens to be located near the SFPD Gun Range. We are not formally accusing the PD here, but we think you can put 2 & 2 together. The Devil Dolls MC are rock solid members of our community and have a long standing tradition of engaging in various charities and performing charity work. They do NOT deserve to be unjustly discriminated against.

Enough is enough. Time to go on Offense for a change..

Goal:
While exercising our First Amendment right to assemble and protest, we hope to bring light to the masses what many in the motorcycle riding community witness daily as targets of commonplace tactics used by law enforcement who attempt to control the public through fear, intimidation, coercion, deception, misinformation and violation of Constitutional rights.

Plan:
- This is planned as a peaceful assembly. We will all assemble in front of the Pacific Gun and Rod Club beginning at 9:30am
- If you care to, you can bring your pre-make signs or make one there with materials donated for this event. We only ask that your message not be hateful or threatening in nature. We want to educate the public and not do what everyone expects us to do.
- Without any form of amplified equipment, we will "hang out" (no marching) outside the entrance of the club on the public walkways ensuring we don't block or interrupt vehicle or pedestrian traffic.
- At about 11:30 am , we will cleanup and get ready to ride out together to the Devil Doll MC 15th Anniversary Party at the Bay Riders MC Club House. The Devil Dolls MC will be leading this ride.

Needed:
- Getting the word out for this call-2-action and inviting sympathetic friends and allies
- Help obtaining personal contacts with any and all media outlets
- Bottled water. Donations appreciated
- Cardboard or paper for signs, markers,
- Video cameras and individuals who can help document the event
