ABOUT THE PEOPLE'S GUIDE


THE PEOPLE'S GUIDE
is intended to standardize communication among event-planners, protesters, media, tourists, wanderers, monitors, hangers-on, and friends. Take some time to become familiar with it. Revel in its quirks. Look at it closely, then from a distance. Use site numbers or grid coordinates to refer to locations in your personal emails and public flyers. If you would like to give a location a standard reference number for others to use, please contact us. Visit the website for corrections and additions.

This is your memento of an important event. Customize it. Take notes. Doodle. You were here.


WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?
Pirates in the East River. A slave revolt on Maiden Lane. Having a drink at Fraunces Tavern. Failed revolutions. Unreadable manifestos. A refuge during the Draft Riots. Doctors dispensing birth control. Welcome to Ellis Island. Labor Day in Union Square. The Canyon of Heroes. D with desire. Ten minutes of silence. March against nukes. 9/11. March for peace. A hundred poets, mechanics, librarians, and hustlers in a long tradition.
