We are requesting that states restrict offender travel permits to Georgia (with the exception of emergencies) during this period due to the National Rainbow Family Gathering 2018. The Rainbow Family has governed Gatherings of up to 30,000 people. Regional Rainbow gatherings can attract as many as 5,000. The U.S. national gathering occurs around July 1-7, but people come up to a month earlier to help set up (this is known as “Seed Camp”) and remain on site up to a month later to participate in cleanup and to perform site restorations.
