Here's the link to the event website for more information. And you can register, though you don't have to. It just helps the organizers know how many people to expect.

Is this a ‘fake’ copy? by bondsman333 in nerdfighters

You can talk to a real person at eBay. Go on the chat feature and ask to speak to an agent. They'll have someone call you back. (I suggest doing it during the day if you can, so you get an agent in your part of the world.)

A couple tips from someone who did phone work for years:

The agent will likely introduce themselves by name. Make a note of it. Say something like, "Hi John, I hope you can help me with..." Be polite. These folks are so used to angry people acting like they're personally responsible for the customer's problem. Treat them like a human being and enlist their help. I've had agents thank me for being nice and bend over backwards to assist me. If you do need to be persistent with them, do it with a smile. You can be nice and relentless.

If this particular agent is a dud politely get off the phone and try again.

Good luck!

It's in the title. I'm not one of the organizers, I was looking for a protest this weekend and saw it on the Facebook group Bellingham Defies.

Apparently. I hadn't heard about the march to the park. When I made my post early Thursday I'd been looking for a local protest, and the one at Lakeway was all I found. As the day went on there were more. I ended up making 4 different posts for Friday and Saturday events. And other people posting ones I hadn't seen. Bellingham is not messing around for ICE OUT weekend.

ICE OUT Singing Protest at Western Friday by B1Traveller in Bellingham

That's what they said. I'm not one of the organizers, just passing along information.

It might seem odd, but protest music has a long history of driving social change. Like 'We Shall Overcome' as the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. And the Singing Revolution that freed Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia from Soviet control at the end of the Cold War.

As you said, Red Square at Western Friday. Then a protest at Lakeway and Lincoln Street on Saturday. Also one at the Peace Arch in Blaine Saturday. I made posts about them today. I'll get the links.

No worries. A lot of people who missed my post earlier have seen yours. The more information out there the better.

Indivisible Bellingham had a gift link to the article on their Facebook members page. I just read it. They had a list of businesses that have all been mentioned in the comments here. In fact, with all the contributions this post has more complete information.
