We’ll continue to fight the expansion of fracked gas. We’ll continue to fight offshore drilling. We’ll continue to fight mountain top removal. We’ll continue to fight tar sands development. We’ll continue fighting because our survival and humanity depend on it.

2. Those who are marching from City Hall to FDR park, the march in total distance is 3.8 miles wear comfortable footwear
3. Marconi Plaza is the midway point in the March.
The plaza takes up 2 sides of S. Broad Street
This should be a point to either rest a bit or hydrate
4. Those with medical/nursing/EMT background will be there to help with any minor injuries during the March.
5. A backpack is encouraged filled with
Sunscreen
Bandages
Extra change of clothes
First aid kit
6. Be advised there are going to be assholes coming too.
Although fellow Berners come in peace we are going to have opposition sympathizers to try to come in and make us look bad.
Don't feed the trolls.
7. In the event something happens we have lawyers Pro Bono in philly I will post information as we get closer to the date
8. Make sure if you're doing video taping or live streaming (like myself) bring extended batteries packs for cell phones and selfie sticks
Videographers, bring a portable source of energy for your cameras.
9. Let's come with full energy it's going to be a good time.
10. Food? Water?
Pfft....
You're in Philly.
Grab a cheesesteak.

#ShutItDown July 25-28, 2016 Berners who can't go to Philly.
For the four days of the convention let's send a clear message to the powers that be: we are serious, we are united, we are in this TOGETHER. Get everything you need ahead of the convention: fill your gas tank up, get money, stock up on food and supplies, plan activities for those days that don't cost money.
From July 25th thru the 28th: DON'T shop, DON'T go out to eat, DON'T buy movie tickets or buy tickets to any event. DON'T use an ATM or visit your bank. DON'T make any purchases at all.
