Helpful Reminders to Prepare for this Event

Dress for cold weather! Temperatures are expected to be in the 30s and the entire event is outdoors. Wear layers, warm clothing/socks/shoes and be sure to bring hats, gloves and scarfs! 

Be prepared to bring your own beverages, food and snacks. The event permit only allows for two food trucks on premise and the crowd size will far exceed their capacity. 

As of January 15, 2022, Mayor Bowser enacted order 2021-148 for the District of Columbia that requires citywide vaccination proof to enter most indoor facilities including restaurants, coffee shops and hotels. We recommend you bring a thermos of tea or coffee, water bottles, a bagged lunch and snacks for the day or be prepared to travel 15-20 minutes into Virginia for food and lodging.

Mayor Bowser also enacted orders that require masks if outdoors in large group settings throughout the metro DC area. Please understand we are not suggesting you wear a mask but be prepared to be asked by local authorities and plan accordingly. A scarf around your face to protect you from the blustery cold may be helpful for many reasons.

The number in attendance is expected to be massive! If you’re further from the stage, you’ll have the opportunity to tune in to hear the speakers on your phone if service permits, or you may want to consider bringing a battery-powered radio to also tune in over a local radio station to hear the speakers. 

If you see something, say something. This is a peaceful event. There will be no tolerance for anything other than peaceful participation. If you see anything concerning, please remain calm and de-escalate any conflict. Report any issues or suspicious activity immediately to the local law enforcement on hand, private security or event volunteers. A private security firm has been hired and is working hand-in-hand with the local DC Metro police to ensure this is a peaceful and successful event. 

Mobile restrooms will be provided but with large crowds there can be long waits. 

If traveling out that same afternoon, please be mindful of the large crowds and congestion and give yourself plenty of time to catch your bus or flight. 

It’s not too late to come, jump on the bus! Buses are available from a number of stops in New York, New Jersey and North Carolina for same-day, roundtrip transportation to Washington, D.C.

This will be a historic event uniting everyone who wants to reclaim individual liberties, reinstate democratic principles and refuse to comply with un-American mandates.

We are on the front lines of the most important battle in history. This is a battle to save our democracy, freedom and civil liberties from this totalitarian cartel that is trying to rob us of our inalienable rights with which every human being is born. 

Please join us for “Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming” this Sunday, January 23rd in Washington, D.C. 

Thank you,
