Going to a protest tomorrow and so freaked out but so ready. Tips?
Reposting these tips from our earlier post:
Watch out for unrest. The people start getting violent? leave. You cant continue the fight if you get hurt.
the POLICE START GETTING VIOLENT?! Get. the fuck. Out of there. And help anyone you see that needs it.
Keep your eyes out for a med booth or those supplying first aid. Iâve heard they are spread all throughout the protests, ready to aid.
Bring your inhaler
Write the number of your friends on your body. This day and age people donât know each others numbers. Itâs very easy to lose your phone when shit pops off. And if you get separated, youâll be happy that you have it written somewhere. Just make sure its non-visible. Some people ended up getting doxxed during the last uprising.
Write the number of a friend that is not there, someone you trust, as well, in the same manner. If someone is handing out the number of someone representing legal counsel, take it.
Bring water with you. That is vital. And snacks. Keep your energy up in the sun.
I saw many things saying unlock your phone so people can get to your information. Do not unlock your phone. If it gets stolen then youâre fucked and if it gets in the hands of the police, you donât want them searching through your shit. On your lock screen put all necessary information. Your picture, name, age, phone number, and the phone number of the person you trust.
Bring a black sharpie. You need to write shit down like the name of someone getting arrested? youâll be happy for it.
stay together. try your best to not get separated. One goes, you all go. You do not want to lose someone in the fray.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MASK OR SOME SORT OF FACE COVERING. FABRIC, MEDICAL, WHATEVER. NOT ONLY DO YOU WANT SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOU, BUT SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOU FROM FACIAL RECOGNITION.
tie back your hair if you have long hair.
wear baggy black clothing. you want to be as non-descript as possible. you do not want the police to be able to easily profile you.
stay far away from the fuckin cops. we saw in ft Lauderdale yesterday that it takes ONE COP to start it all.
If you have medical supplies? bring them.
If you see opposing parties trying to start shit like the trump supporters and white supremacists infiltrating the crowd? RAISE THE ALARM. TELL. OTHERS.
POLICE ARE INFILTRATING THE CROWDS AS WELL. Iâve heard that theyâre changing armband color every day. So if you see an armband, tell the people around you. Itâs usually on the upper bicep and keep your eyes open for anyone else like that. This is important.
KNOW. YOUR. RIGHTS.
