Frequently Asked Questions
I'm in a wheelchair / walker, can I still attend?
Absolutely! Both ends of the sidewalks have wheelchair ramps. We frequently have folks in your situation and have not had any issues.
Will there be music?
Yes, there will be music. But the speaker output only reaches so far. If you do not want to hear the music, keep walking down the sidewalk until you can no longer hear it.
Can we chant fun things?
Who doesn't love a good chant! Yes we will chant too.
Are there bathrooms available?
Yes, there are public bathrooms in the park, but they are only open seasonaly.

Is Waukesha Resist on Social Media?
YES! Find Waukesha Resist on Facebook and Bluesky
Are pictures taken?
Yes, we do take pictures at our protests and we post them on social media. If you prefer to remain anonymous, please wear a mask as we do not obscure the faces on our photos.
Should I bring a sign?
You can make your own sign or borrow one of ours. An important thing to note is that wooden sticks, meant as a way to hold the sign high, can be construed as a weapon. So either use a stiff cardboard tube, pool noodle or forego it all together.

Can I bring a gun?
Although WI does have open and conceal carry, when we are at the Wisconsin Ave location we are within a thousand feet of a school, making having a gun illegal. Please leave your weapons in your vehicle or at home.
What if it rains?
As long as it just rain, we will still be out there. If there is thunder and/or lightening, the rally will be cancelled for everyone's safety.
Can I bring an upside down American flag?
Please don't and here's why. After Donnie's felony conviction his supporters flew the flag upside down in protest. We know it used to mean a country in distress, but now it's used by right wing-nuts. Here is more detail as reported by NPR https://www.npr.org/2024/06/03/nx-s1-4987590/upside-down-american-flag-protest-symbol-history
