Subject: [Aware] Home Support for DC?


: Hi everyone,
:
: I know that a very large contingent of people from Champaign-Urbana are
: leaving on Friday for DC for the protest, and I was wondering whether
"home
: support" has been set up for those leaving. Home Support is essentially a
: one number emergency contact that you can call in case of emergencies. The
: person staffing that telephone number, stores all of your emergency data,
: including local contacts, medical allergies, etc. in case a situation
: arises. They can then spread the word and provide important information to
: your friends and family or media (if appropriate).
:
: Home Support was both effective and invaluable last year when a much
smaller
: group from Champaign-Urbana headed to NYC for the Republican National
: Convention. Our group had NO intention of being arrested or putting
: ourselves in immediate danger, and yet we found ourselves arrested and
: detained with 2,000 others in a very scary situation during that time
: period.
:
: I understand that the group will only be at the protest for one day, but I
: would really encourage you all to prepare yourselves for the "worst-case
: scenario". I am so thankful we did. I would be willing to help organize
such
: an effort for interested parties, if none is currently available.
:
: Please let me know if I can be of help from Champaign during your trip.

: Kind regards,
