Calling on NOVA residents!!

I want to support the protesters at Dulles. I can go to Costco tomorrow morning and purchase water bottles and snack bars. I have $500 to spend.

However, I recently had surgery on my left hand and can't lift or haul heavy items. I can probably get Costco employees to load my car, but can't get them to the protesters.

Is there anyone in the area that can meet me at the airport to help me move the goods from the parking lot to the terminal? I can bring a hand truck.

Say, 1pm?

My real name is Mandy. Please PM me if you can help.

There are hundreds of protesters at Dulles. From what I have read, there are 50-ish individuals being detained because of the vicious Trump Muslim ban.

If you have Twitter, #Dulles. Lots of photos and videos.

But there is a "cellphone lot" close by that they can wait at. Clearly marked by road signs. They can wait there. Call when you get your luggage. They will be 5 minutes away.

Should the protest continue, I will proceed with delivering water and snacks to the protesters.
