Linking Arms 2024 FAQ

How will this work logistically?
The event coordinators have mapped out the route in detail and know approximately how many people it will take to line each block. Based on this, as we get registrations and especially group registrations, we will know where to assign people to stand. The chain will NOT cross roads/intersections. While we know this means it won’t be a “perfect” chain, we of course have to keep safety first!
How will I know where to go?
The evening before the event, we will email all participants to let them know where they are standing. This will be the location you should be no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday in order to be in place for the chain event.
Can we see what groups have signed up?
Our goal is to share a map with group locations listed so you can see where various groups are standing, but this will depend upon the registration and assignment process. Please understand while this is the ultimate goal, there is a chance we will not be able to communicate this in advance.
What if I want to add a group?
If you would like to add a group to the organization list, please email olivia@mcneelybrockmanpr.com.
Will there be security?
MNPD is aware of the event and will be actively patrolling.
Is this a protest?
This is NOT a protest. This is a family-friendly demonstration of unity – a visual representation of people of all backgrounds and beliefs coming together in support of stronger gun safety laws and a safer Tennessee.
Is this family friendly?
Yes! As you feel comfortable, we encourage people to bring their families.
What happens when we are lined up?
Details will be sent closer to the event, but plan on some songs, reflections and a moment of silence.
What should I bring?
Please dress comfortably and wear RED. You can also download and print these signs: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q7tzUE7As8uBkyyq4rFmdwjrBlsl4Sau?usp=sharing
