WHAT TO BRING (no alcohol):

(1) Bring your cell phone, and make sure that it's fully charged (or buddy up with someone with a phone)!

(2) Bring a map of DC, either a street map or a printout (from Googlemaps, etc.) of the area around the Capitol, and around the intersection of 15th St and I ("Eye") Street NW, where the march will be meeting.

(3) Comfort/needs: bring food...we may have snacks, but not enough...think about 3 meals on Sunday. Also, bring a pillow/blanket if you'd like. We can leave things on the bus (but won't have access to them during the day). Also, bring water! Marching and chanting makes you thirsty.

(4) Bring SIGNS!!! Make your own signs to carry during the march.

(5) Bring some money for emergencies and concessions, and remember to save at least $2 for a tip for the bus driver on the way back!

(6) Bring a pen and some paper to write things down. I'll have handouts as well with basic info on them about where to meet after the march.
