It's going down 8:30 p.m. Friday at BayWalk.

Meanwhile, organizers called out council members Karl Nurse and Herb Polson in their weekly e-mail blast Tuesday.

"Nurse, Mayor Baker, council member Polson and others rationalized their approval of the sidewalk giveaway by saying protesters' rights were maintained because they could still protest across the street," the e-mail reads. "This type of deceit is not tolerable, and we will not quietly sit by as BayWalk and city officials stomp on democracy and the Constitution."
