B.Y.O.B - Build Your Own Bus

This Saturday, February 9th from 1-4 pm, we're having a party to make signs and a fleet of cardboard buses to rumble through the Capitol rotunda at the rally in support of public transit this Monday, Feb. 11th.

If you're registered for the rally, you can get creative with your most crucial messages to the media and our elected officials. But even if you can't come to the Harrisburg rally for public transit, you can make a visual statement for the cameras!

Assemble (art + technology space) has generously offered paints, markers, crayons, glitter, scissors, glue and all sorts of other goodies. Please bring a cardboard box or a couple of pieces of poster board to 5125 Penn Ave, right next to the Merton Center on Saturday, Feb. 9th from 1-4pm.

Kids, friends, dogs, cats - whoever or whatever - everybody is welcome as long as they want to help keep our buses rolling! And there will be pizza from Spaks, too!
