DNC thread - planning, organizing, sharing

Last edited Sun May 15, 2016, 02:12 PM - Edit history (1)

I was thinking that if any of us are planning to do to the DNC, maybe a place to put links/information/planning/sharing would be a good idea.

Here are some links that I found regarding how to get there, people sharing rides/lodging, etc.

On reddit there are many posts, some are asking about where to stay, what to expect, even asking for couches to sleep on

If you're near DC, there is a DC to the DNC event

Facebook - there's a #MarchOnDNC post with links to trip planning for people in every state. I believe this was created by Occupy the DNC. Just click on your state

If you want to take the Rally us to the DNC, you can pick a city that's fairly close to Philly (I think the farthest west location is in Kansas City)

Also the March on the DNC Rally Bus (a little more

Also you can just go to the places on twitter and get a lot of information:
#BernTheConvention
#SeeYouInPhilly
#MarchOnDNC
#OccupyDNC

And please list more that you know of.
I am still contemplating going. If I can get a place to stay/share with others, I would seriously consider it. I hope that some of you will be there!
