if you are white and you are at a protest, YOUR SKIN IS A SHEILD. police are less likely to exert force over you. if you see a cop approaching a black person, or using force on them, GET INVOLVED. GET IN FRONT OF THEM. BE A BARRIER. If you are unable to do so, DRAW ATTENTION!!!!

individual officers often go after black people on the outskirts of crowds, ones they can hurt “without it being obvious.” so be fucking loud. tell them to get the fuck away from them. yell for help, get more protestors in that area.

even outside of protests, KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY. If you see a black person being harassed GET INVOLVED. If you don’t want to get between them, start recording and make it clear that you aren’t going anywhere until their safety is secured
