Protest tips: 1)either leave your phone in your vehicle/at home or put it on an 8 digit passcode w/no fingerprint or face ID unlock 2)write your emergency bailout person’s number on your body in permanent marker and cover with a bandage so it can’t be read by cops
3)Take medications and be hydrated when you head out 4)Bring water and wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Wear shoes you can run in. 5)Bring goggles, a mask, and if you can, obscure other parts of your face to minimize facial recognition 6) Talk to people and make friends
6)Part 2, Don’t make friends with cops-there will be plainclothes in the crowd, don’t get lured into doing stupid shit by a plainclothes 7)Avoid bottlenecks, cops will try to trap you so they can then arrest you when they order you to disperse but you’re trapped

8)If you are hit with pepper spray, remove your mask because it will be on the mask. Find a street medic if you can. Lay flat on the ground while water is poured on your face, this lets the chemical go on the ground instead of down your body.
9)If you are being arrested, try to find a legal observer in a bright green hat. Tell them your name and anyone you want them to contact. Tell them if you need medication or have any health concerns. Then SHUT UP. Don’t talk to the cops. Don’t talk to anyone else being arrested.
10)Be safe, take care of your old friends and new friends, and fuck the cops.
