A stand in the park is a movement started in Australia and is now in 14 other countries, with over 65000 members and in 600 parks will find your tribe.
You can show solidarity & feel safe amongst your tribe for an hour or so on a Sunday at A Stand In the Park Gathering organised by a volunteer who is AWAKE! The more people who turn up the longer the meeting lasts because everyone wants to talk with each other.
Take a sign/placard, a chair, and wear something bright and yellow. Stand or sit & chat with like minded people, make friends, grow your local community, exchange ideas & actions, and be in the light. It is a beautiful thing! If you know a location to add here please let us know by email >>
