Becky: I want to thank all of you for coming today. I think we all agree that we need to organize a protest...
Pedro: Hold on, Becky. We all want to voice our opinion that we oppose what is going on here, but I’m not sure a protest is the answer.
Becky: With all due respect, Pedro, I think a rally is the best way to do that.
Pedro: That may be, but I think we need to consider a few things first. Taking to the streets means coordinating a lot of people. That means getting them to show up, to march, and to hold up signs. I’m not sure we have enough time to pull it all off.
Becky: Don’t get me wrong. I’m not in favor of doing anything half-assed. If we decide to protest, we want to do it right so that we get a lot of media coverage. I’m confident that we have enough people and time to get it all done.
Pedro: Okay, but another thing we should be ready for is a counter protest. The other side isn’t going to take things lying down.
Becky: You’re right, and we’ll take that into consideration. Is there any more discussion before we start on the planning? No? Okay, let’s get down to business.
