As many of you have probably heard, a twelve-day protest march from Philadelphia to Washington DC is planned for later this month! Full details can be found at: Democracy12.
Indivisible Frederick MD is planning to take part in the final days of the march! Come on, let's Make History Together! We plan to be taking part in this amazing moment on June 25th through the 28th! Details on the route can be found here: Democracy12 Route.
Some of us will march, while others will be operating our cars as support vehicles for marchers. There is an option to sleep out with the marchers if you like, but we plan to commute to the start point each morning, and to return to Frederick each evening. Meals are being provided by the march organizers.
The average walking distance will only be about ten miles per day, so the pace will be slow. Be sure to bring ample water, snacks, a change of socks, any medications you might need, comfortable shoes or boots you can walk in, your charged phone and a means to recharge it (if you have one), a broad-brimmed hat, rain gear, sunglasses, sunscreen, and so on! Break out your signs!
Our support vehicle (on the days when it is operating) will be stocked with bottled water, snacks, a large first-aid kit with special attention paid to treatments for sore feet and sunburn, sunscreen, clean socks, hand sanitizer, wipes, umbrellas, extra sign-making supplies, etc.
Walk a little or a lot; walk one day or four (or twelve!); walk or drive a support vehicle but come and be part of this incredible attempt to show the nation and the world that we are On the Move!
