When: 4:00pm until 6:00pm 
Where: In front of the Tampa Bay Times printing plant, 1301 34 St. N in St. Petersburg

Is this a protest of the Tampa Bay Times? No, this is a rally to encourage the media to speak out on behalf of whistleblowers and the Constitution, and to reject the false choice of privacy vs. security. We believe the content of what Edward Snowden exposed, namely that the NSA has been spying on Americans, deserves the media's full attention. The rally is also to show solidarity with Edward Snowden (and all whistleblowers like WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning) and to applaud Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia for offering Snowden asylum.
