For this week, I&#8217;ll also donate an additional $10 per purchase to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdrise.com\/womens-march-on-washington\/fundraiser\/womens-marchon-washington\" target=\"_blank\">Women&#8217;s March organizational fundraiser<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All of the necklaces available now have 16&#8243; chains. If you need an 18&#8243; chain, I can do a custom order, but that won&#8217;t be ready for two weeks.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t worry about that, though.\u00a0 Your need to be NASTY isn&#8217;t going away any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>Besides jewelry, there are other important things\/info you need for protest marches. Here are some of my own tips that I&#8217;ve gotten from long waits in line for concerts and attending music festivals. I&#8217;ve tested them out in two New York protests so far and found the concerts really prepared me well!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0If you&#8217;re going to D.C., the forecast calls for rain. I recommend <strong>the disposable rain ponchos<\/strong> that you can find in a drugstore. Umbrellas are often forbidden in crowds, and an umbrella isn&#8217;t as effective as a poncho anyway.\u00a0 Plus it&#8217;s better to keep your hands free.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of things that don&#8217;t work in crowds &#8212; <strong>avoid backpacks<\/strong>. A cross-body bag is good as long as it&#8217;s not too heavy. Even a small leather bag can weigh on your shoulder after a long time. Luckily, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/13392858\/fanny-pack-bum-bag-accessory-trend-alexander-wang-pre-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\">fanny packs have made a stylish comeback<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been meaning to get one forever.<\/li>\n<li>Everyone in your party should bring his or her own <strong>phone charger<\/strong>.\u00a0 Not that your phone will be much use, necessarily. Cell phones often don&#8217;t work when there&#8217;s so much demand on the system.\u00a0 Make sure all your peeps know how to get back to where you&#8217;re staying or your form of transportation. If anyone gets separated, it&#8217;s a waste of time to try to meet them at some particular location when you know you all have to return to your homebase. When sending a text, include the time you&#8217;re sending it, to avoid the situation where it pops up hours later to the confusion of the recipient.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of the phone not working, <strong>print out any maps<\/strong> you might need ahead of time. Subway maps, area maps, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Each person should bring some type of <strong>snack<\/strong> as well as water. People always go for granola or protein bars, which are fine, but I&#8217;ve found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pepperidgefarm.com\/ProductDetail.aspx?catID=772&amp;prdID=120538&amp;gclid=Cj0KEQiA-_HDBRD2lomhoufc1JkBEiQA0TVMmg75IlpKBoXPmGv5XfADgw-rqftcJnmOJf4cTXU8KikaAo7I8P8HAQ\">Goldfish crackers<\/a> to be completely indestructible! Put some in a baggie if you like those. If Goldfish can survive the front row of a Lana Del Rey concert, they can survive anything. Those fans are vicious!<\/li>\n<li>You folks who have medical conditions or who simply get lightheaded from hunger or dehydration &#8212; you know who you are. The rest of us are tired of scraping you up off the street (and when I say &#8220;the rest of us&#8221; I definitely mean &#8220;me&#8221;). Bring supplies for yourself and tell your companions about any <strong>medications<\/strong> you are carrying that they may need to look for in an emergency.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to personal medications (insulin, asthma meds, etc.), bring <strong>Band-Aids and Tylenol\/Aleve\/aspirin\/whatever you prefer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>I highly recommend <strong>cough drops or hard candy<\/strong> because chanting slogans makes your throat sore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do bring a sign<\/strong>! You&#8217;ll be sad if you don&#8217;t have one. Make sure you read the rules about your march, because wooden posts are forbidden in D.C., at least, but you can make sign posts out of sturdy cardboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more tips, here is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardrobeoxygen.com\/2016\/12\/what-to-wear-to-a-protest-march.html\" target=\"_blank\">Wardrobe Oxygen&#8217;s post on what to wear<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womensmarch.com\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\">Women&#8217;s March&#8217;s FAQ<\/a>.
