FROM FAQ
What will be the camp setup, and what should I bring to the No Borders Camp?
Yourself, your friends, your dreams. Bring your tents, dishes, a sleeping
bag, some food and water, and everything else you'll need to be
self-sustaining. There will be more than one community kitchen, and there are plans to serve two large hot meals a day. Everyone will have to pitch in for cooking, sanitation and security. Bear in mind that we are going to be in the desert. It will be hot during the day and cool at night. Bring structures for shade, sunblock and a good hat. Bring plans for workshops, art and actions.
Although we will be in the city, the layout of the camp will be rustic. A
water filter will be helpful. Toilet paper and other toiletries are important. Bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Bring paper-mache,
puppets, paint, banners, drums, bagpipes, trumpets, tubas.
If you have tech gear, video cameras, computers, large tents, a bullhorn, a battery-powered PA, a projector, a huge stove, propane tanks, large water containers, outdoor lights, folding chairs, solar ovens, medical supplies or solar panels, bring them too! If you are able to provide any of these resources - and for more information, please contact noborderslogistics(at)riseup(dot)net.
We ask that you not bring firearms, drugs, or alcohol.
