Just finished listening to the hour long call on Posted by @kanekoathegreat.

The woman speaking mentioned having posters at the rally in Georgia on Monday. I don’t know if this happened or not.

There is a good print shop on 2001 M Street NW called ABC Imaging that will do same day orders if someone has needs for poster printing tomorrow morning. I’m not 100% sure they’ll be open, but if they are maybe some “Italy did it” signs will help get the message out to the MSM.

Just went to the grocery store in northern Virginia today just outside of DC. I was fully prepared to pull the medical exemption card if anyone complained. To my surprise, no one said a word. Also went into Subway for lunch and again no complaints.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but is there any way to coordinate Potomac crossing by boat if the bridges/metro are shut down? There are several docks used for ferry service between Arlington/Alexandria and DC that could probably be utilised if needed. A dispersed water crossing would also likely circumvent any checkpoints in and out of the city.

Hi frens. I’ve been lurking here for since the election went down and thought I could help with some advice for out of towners since I live in the DC metro area. Hopefully this helps. Feel free to comment if you have specific questions. I’ll try to answer them if I can.

Transportation - The police blocked off the bridges coming from Virginia during the last protest to reduce the crowds. I’m not sure if it was just memorial bridge (easiest to get to from the airport) or all of them. Be prepared with multiple routes or be prepared to walk if needed. It’s pretty easy to transfer metro lines, so you don’t have to worry about direct routes. The orange/silver line had partial closures due to track maintenance and I’m not sure if they’ve fully reopened the Virginia side. If I had to guess, the mayor may even go as far as limiting metro stops to crowd control. The metro only runs until midnight so if your protesting late, book somewhere nearby.

Hotels - There are always a lot of hotels in the dc area but make sure your are close to a metro stop for safety and speed. The NW area is usually the safest, but there are a lot of newer hotels in SW, NE and the city center that will be cheaper because they’ve just opened. Staying outside of the city is also an option. I recommend not booking anything in SE on the south side of the river (in anacostia) due to higher crime rates. The suburbs will definitely be safest, Alexandria, Arlington, Vienna, Bethesda, Greenbelt, Reston, etc. Just double check the metro availability and plan on a long commute.

Supplies - Most shops are still boarded up from the earlier riots in the downtown area so make sure to bring what you need for the day, or longer. January/February are usually the coldest months of the year here so dress accordingly. Be prepared for snow/sleet if the weather indicates it will be wet. I’m not sure what the bathroom situation will be in the area, but maybe have a coordinator set up porta johns if there are not open stores nearby.

Parking - And lastly, it’ll be a weekday this time, unlike the other protests. There are still people going into the city to work, just not as many. Street parking is usually free on the weekends, but they will probably be towing and ticketing for the weekdays. Most hotels will have either a garage or valet service if you’re driving from out of town. Most office garages will be open for day parking, but these will close between 6-7 so plan where to park if you’re driving in to the city.
