July 4, 2015 Seacoast Walk

Thank you for joining us on our July 4th Seacoast Walk. You are part of the movement to reclaim our representative democracy. It is only through the people speaking out and standing up together that we will win.

To help you have a good time while walking in support of government reform, we've put together some helpful info.

We'll be walking — rain or shine!

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals.
  • Bring snacks for energy: granola bars, dried fruit, trail mix.
  • Bring a water bottle.

During the Walk

  • Go at your own pace.
