i cannot stress enough if you're protesting please please please keep yourself safe!!! BRING FIRST AID and keep health professionals safe bc they are extremely vulnerable AND important!!

i know there are a lot of threads on this but i want to reiterate: cover your face and keep yourself unobtrusive. police will look for your figure and your shape or other things that will pick you out in a crowd! don't wear logos, cover scars/tattoos/hair esp if its colored

hong kong protestors have methods to stop tear gas like pouring water over the canisters and trapping it with a safety cone and a baking soda/water solution to spray on yourself if u get gassed

DO NOT!!! WEAR CONTACTS IF YOU'RE PROTESTING!!!! getting sprayed with pepper spray can cause permanent damage if you have them in!! wear glasses instead or goggles!! and ofc wear a mask for anonymity and covid-19 regulations

im not the most informed person but i want everyone to b safe regardless of ur gender/race/etc so i hope this thread reaches ppl!!! #BlackLivesMatter thank you to all the protestors <3 u guys r doing an amazing thing
