So what do you need? Bring as little as possible, bring the possessions you don't mind sharing, most of all, bring BODIES! You'll need (altho we'll help supply you if you can't lug stuff): warm clothes (altho the weather has been hotter than California, it rained a little today, warm, pleasant sprinkles!), water bottle, cup, plate, spoon/fork/chopsticks, rain gear.
What do we need??? BODIES!!! BODIES!!! BODIES!!! Womyn, as well as men of color are VERY under-represented here! Bring your fierce activist self, your fighting spirit, your determination to change our country - before we drop yet another bomb, before we invade yet another country, before we spend another billion on wars and occupations!
So PLEASE get on the bus, the train, the plane and come to D.C. NOW!
p.s. This is the time we could REALLY use a CodePINK Activist House again! maybe you know someone who would like to jump in and contribute in this way? Take advantage of the buyers market? Anyone want to work on this?
