It’s easier than you think to host a #FreeBritney rally! Britney’s case is based in Los Angeles, but conservatorship abuse takes place across the country and beyond. Consider hosting a rally in your area to raise awareness and shed light on this important issue. No matter where you live, you can make a difference.
Follow our step-by-step guide to get started.
Step 1: Pick a date
Most rallies coincide with one of Britney’s court hearings, but you can pick any date that works for you!
To confirm hearing dates, visit the LA Court website and enter Britney’s case number (BP108870). The next hearing will be listed under “FUTURE HEARINGS.”
Step 2: Find a location
Streets, sidewalks, and parks are generally safe places to gather. Consider highly visible local landmarks. Please remember to be respectful and adhere to any applicable laws at your chosen location.
Step 3: Promote it
Social media is a great way to spread the word! Post the details of your rally on Instagram or Twitter.
You can also print paper flyers and post them throughout your city. If you take photos of your posted flyers, you can share them on social media for even more exposure.
Step 4: Invite
It’s helpful to send personalized invitations to your rally. Start with friends and Britney fans, and don’t be afraid to reach out to social media influencers, local public figures, and media outlets.
You can also invite local Getty Images or freelance photographers.
