HOSTING A PUBLIC EVENT

Do you want to host a pubic event? Consider: What kind of event do you want to host and why? If its Political you should consider what affect you want to achieve—change in consciousness of a particular community, or do you want to achieve a purpose like getting a local politician voted into office? You can get a permit and legalize the event. Permits include occupancy permits for the space— If you want sound you need, or should consider getting an amplification permit. This will mean more red tape, speaking with local community boards, and getting approval from the local police department. You will have more room to breath if it’s a smaller event—the bigger the event, the more attention you call to it and the higher the risk if you get busted.
