GET LOUD: NOON
We need to get loud! Rise Up! BE BRAVE! Get your voices heard!
They need to be able to hear us on the Senate floor while they debate the bill. We could hear the small group during the House vote, imagine how loud thousands will be!
DAY OF TIPS :
Bring friends and family
Bring noise makers, bull horns and ear protection for the kiddos.
Wear comfortable shoes! There will be a lot of walking and standing.
It might be warm and then cold outside, so we suggest dressing in layers.
Pack a bag of essentials including water, snacks and extra layers.
Bring activities for your children.

There will be news coverage:
Media will be wearing a press badge around their neck, carrying a video camera, regular camera and/or a notepad and pen. If you are interviewed by the media, stick to brief, factual statements that cannot be edited, or find a versed advocate to speak to them. Whenever possible, have someone you know record the interview too.
