What is a PDE Pod?

A PDE Pod is a way for a community to support and encourage the use of traditional public fora to conduct fully protected expressive activities.  It will serve as a long standing symbol for the community's belief in the value of public displays of expression.

A PDE Pod is a large scale, public art sculpture, that also serves as a platform for purely expressive conduct.  While it could stand on its own as a sculpture worthy of public investment, it will also include features, such as hooks, shelves, seating, and weather protection, that make it easier to conduct public displays of expression. ​
By establishing a space common space for self-expression, we are promoting the existence of a "Market-place of ideas" that is essential to a healthy, well connected, and adaptive community capable of ensuring our individual liberty and promoting our collective interests.
