ITINERARY:

Bus leave at 1:00 AM 4/5/2025 sharp, from 75 Storrs St., Concord, NH.
-
We get dropped off around 9:00 AM in DC at the Capital Business Center (CPC), 801 Allen Y. Lew Place, NW.
-
We then walk approximately 2-1/4 miles (30 mins +/-) to the Mall where the protest is being held. The protest begins at 1:00 pm, but I am sure there will be plenty of people conjugating before then. We must stay as a group for safety, and we know we are all together when it is time to leave. We will be mixed amongst a HUGE crowd.
-
At 5:00 pm sharp we walk back to CPC to get the bus at 6:00 pm sharp. It's approx. an 8-9-hour ride back to Concord.
Van or Carpool to DC Relaxed: April 4-6 (Van cost $75/person)
THE GENERAL PLAN
The general plan for this 2-day trip is to travel to DC on April 4. and to stay in hotels outside of BWI Airport, approx. 1 hour away from the National Mall. Since it will be challenging to get to the National Mall on rally day, we have arranged shuttle from our hotels which will drop off approx. 1/2 mile from the National Mall.

People taking the DC Van will stay overnight on April 5 after the rally. We'll depart for return to Salem NH Sunday morning.​​
