some examples of how you can help, not all inclusive by any means, but WE NEED YOU....

it's not hard to help, there are many easy tasks that need to be done
for example, before Oct 25th, volunteers are needed to answer phones, emails, inquiries, send out letters, pick up materials, run errands around town, deliveries, plaster signs all over town, make signs, copy paper, organize the increasingly hectic office and volunteers, set up computers, stick pins in maps to show where busses are arriving from, mail stuff, stamp stuff, mark routes on DC maps...simple, but we need your help....please join us....if angels were watching us, someone would donate some food over to 1247 E. St. SE any time from now to October 25...there is just lots and lots of hardworking and hungry volunteers there often til late at night with no time to stop...send bagels, pizza, donuts...

on the night before...help set up stages, sound stuff, signs, and guard areas during the night...set up tables for sponsors and Veterans groups,etc....

on October 25th...greet buses (this is a great job, the welcoming committee...give each bus coordinator a map of the March route and and point out the Washington Monument and say HI !!! Welcome to OUR Nation's Capital - people love to see you !!!)...help coordinate media, sound, first aid, disabled vehicles, serve as a march coordiator along the route (armband and cell phone) to monitor progress and watch cops....lots of help needed on Oct 25th....

there is always an unmet need for money....this is a totally volunteer effort with minimal funds available for many expenses, like materials for first aid signs and armbands, permit fees, web page hosting, banners, office supplies, cell phone time, phone lines....we are working out of a very old house, sharing space with an activist group from nicaragua who are very good spirited about this...any donated money will be put to really good use...so you can make a difference even from far away...BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!
