Do this with a group or go solo. Meet To Sleep , for our right to live free from fear. Take a nap in your public parks. Sleep. Alone. Together. We sleep to fight fear. We sleep to fight fear, through trust and belonging. In sleep we assert our right to be defenceless. In sleep we protest. Create a #MeetToSleep where you are.
