so you want to go to a rally.
here's some surefire preparation tips. remember: the less you have on you, the better, because if you're going to be screaming, kicking, jumping, marching, dancing, flyering, whatever, you want to have as little weight on your shoulders as possible (unless you have someone who wants to hold yr stuff, then bring the world!).

SUNBLOCK
this is impt even if it doesn't appear to be sunny. get a small size to keep in your bag with you just in case you need more.

THROAT DROPS
these are essential if you're going to be doing any amount of screaming, and prevent voice loss to some degree.

TISSUES
portapotties rarely have tissues.

WHISTLES
for when you lost your voice and want to cheer.

WATER & FOOD
need i say more? luna bars are great to bring.

CLOTHES
you will be marching, with lots of people, and if yr a cheerleader, jumping around. dress appropriately. don't dress too warmly or in too many layers. you'll be carrying any layers you shed.

LIP BALM

MONEY
to buy buttons, tshirts, food when you get sick of luna bars

FLYERS
to hand out for yr cause, and a pen to write any extra info on them

SUNGLASSES

COMFY SNEAKS
on yr feet
