The “Take Back Our Community” movement begins Tuesday Sept. 9th with freedom drive and kickoff rally at Collier government complex.

NAPLES, FLORIDA - In a show of unity, a coalition of high profile citizen groups will be conducting a “freedom drive”, originating from 2 Collier staging locations and culminating with a rally at the Government complex to coincide with the scheduled Collier Commission meeting.

TBYC is a fledgling movement in which numerous community groups are combining forces in order to seek redress for common grievances such as access to public lands and waterways, unresponsive government and property rights infringements. Some of the groups already involved in the organization include Standing Watch, the Florida Outdoor Alliance, the Property Rights Action Committee, the Naples Park Coalition for Community Involvement, the Citizen Action Team (CAT), Citizens for Charter (CFCPAC) and members of several other civic/activist organizations.

General Schedule of events:
4 PM: Staging area for vehicles and trailers at 2 locations. Max Hasse Park, 3990 Golden Gate Boulevard and East Naples Community Park, 3500 Thomasson Drive.

5 PM – 7 PM: Drive and rally at government complex (3301 Tamiami Trail corner of US 41and Airport Road). Bring signs, banners and American flags. Tow a recreational or off road vehicle if you like. VIP speakers at destination to be announced.

Being that the last time you drove over 3,000 miles to get here, you're excused.
