Anyone in or near Upstate New York Can Get Free Ride to Crawford
Anybody who can get to Ithaca is offered a free ride and supplied with food and whatever else you may need. We will be using van(s) if we get several more folks. If we get MANY more folks we will charter a bus. An anonymous local donor has ponied up a few thousand dollars to pay for any and all transport to and from Crawford.

About a dozen left today from our Co-Op parking lot and plan to stay about a week. More will leave Tuesday and the Van(s) and or Bus will leave at the end of the week. If interested please respond through this thread or a PM. I will facilitate the arrangements.

If there are any who are on the way and wish to go down there are also possibilities depending on location.

Peace

2. If enough respond we will charter a bus
For those of us who are staying daily vigils and some are trying to get a Camp Casey up and running here as they did in Chico, Ca and a few other places.

Unbelievable response when the idea to send folks down to Crawford was put out there.

7. If any decide to take up offer
send a PM and we'll arrange things. If they can make it to Ithaca early in the week they will be housed until departure if necessary.

8. Excellent
Send a PM if you get any takers. Also, maybe a Camp Casey in your home town? Love that happenin' in Chico. Hope we have enough to do it here. The support and rallying here around Cindy's truly courageous stand has been amazing. it's like people were just waiting for something

9. I'd love to go, but I've got to go to
Arkansas to see my sister. If I didn't have time constraints I'd just keep driving to Crawford.

12. Just wondering if you would pick up people along the way at
predetermined places?
That might be helpful since you are going cross country.

16. Not for me.
But I have read postings of several who said they wanted to go and didn't have the means to do it.
Was thinking along the lines of posting your route and anyone along your route that wanted a ride..you could pick up.
