Show America that we are united and have a right to exist. We are ROAR! Ravers Organized Against the RAVE Act, an open collective representing the DC party scene and fighting against those who want to make us just as numb, boring and shrink-wrapped as the rest of America. Sitting in the senate right now is a bill that threatens to fuck your weekends, crash your party, shit on your vibe and trainwreck your music. The RAVE act (Reducing Americans Vulnerability to Ecstasy) is only the worst in a long string of attacks launched on us through the media, police andlocal and federal government. If it passes, any promoter can be fined$250,000 or given 10 years in jail effectively scaring anyone off anyone from throwing innovative events for us to hear and live the music we love. Aren't you old enough to make your own decisions? Like those civil liberties? Need some geriatric politician putting your friends in jail around election time? Remember when Buzz got shut down? Still pissed off? THIS WON'T MAKE THE SCENE GO UNDERGROUND. IT WILL MAKE IT GO INTO THE DUST. MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK FOR YOU MEANS DANCING YOUR ASS OFF ON THEIR PROPERTY. ROAR is a free all ages event! Bring your little sister, your parentsand your coworkers. This is our only way to show the media and the government that we will not sit by and let them stomp all over our scene! Thisevent is 100% legal, all permits are in place, so we will NOT be shut down!Please come early, come late, just come! - the event starts at 3 pm and lasts until 8 pm - Please be respectful and take your trash with youwhen you leave.Make signs and banners to bring with you - we want to make sure our message is heard loud and clear. But don't stop at banners andsigns,make shirts and hats, get creative! You can purchase t-shirts and other apparel from Cafe Press at www.*********.com/roar_tees . As a special incentive to those who attend the protest, Buzzlife will be handing out discount coupons at the protest good for admission to Buzzthat night.
