dress code

The dress code was inspired by James Lawson the Methodist preacher who organized black and white activists in Nashville Tennessee. Lawson understood that the white community of Nashville was oppressed to civil rights because they were afraid of blacks, who they felt were a little more than animals. He instructed his students to overcome this perception by maintaining a dress code and behaving as perfect ladies and gentlemen whenever they went out to protest. Lawson knew that the marchers could win over some of the whites if they could demonstrate to the whites that says were unfounded. I think the dress code also provides an opportunity for people to look and feel their best. A lot of people do not dress up because they have no reason to but love how it feels when they do. We want to give people an excuse to dress up and get more personal confidence.

The dress code will be full head to toe revolutionary uniform, formal/classy or, business casual. We want people looking their best. We want women to do their makeup and hair. The dress code will also make the police less likely to throw teargas or fire rubber bullets.

• Any woman wearing a dress or skirt at knee or above knee length is required to wear shorts under.
• No dresses or skirts shorter than where your middle finger rests on your thigh when you put your arms to your side.
• No low cut shirts.
• No tacky 2 piece half naked suits
• No crop tops/No skin unless its legs, arms or face. V necks are okay as long as they are not low cut. No cleavage. The objective is to look classy and respectful not slutty and trashy.
• People are allowed to wear clean plain sneakers out for rallies and marches with their formal attire.
