Update 6/1/13: Info for those attending the rally at Ft. Meade
Important last minute information and requests…
CAN YOU HELP?
- Please bring a case of water and/or ice to share. We’ll have hundreds of bottles of water, and some ice. However, it will not be enough for the 1,000 people we are expecting. We need help filling this need.
- Please bring sunscreen. We’ll have sunscreen for folks, but not enough for everyone. It’ll be in the low 90′s, and there is little to no shade available.
- Please bring snacks. There are no stores around the Reece Road gathering location.
- Please consider helping shuttle people from the Reece Road parking lots (info below) to the Main Gate gathering location. Two vans will assist folks who may have to park in the overflow parking lot at Van Bokkelen Elementary School. However, if you can help shuttling a few folks if you have space in your car, it’ll be very helpful.

Sunstroke is a form of heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion can occur as the result of over-exposure to any heat source. Sunstroke occurs when the specific heat source is the sun, and especially when the sun’s heat is accompanied by high humidity.
According to the U.S. Park Service, it is possible to get sunstroke in 93F temperatures in the sunlight after a few hours.
If you work or play in the sun, keep the sun’s rays off of your skin. Wear lightweight, light-colored loose-fitting protective clothing and a hat with a brim or visor to shade your face, neck and ears.
