I am passing this information on to you, in the event you choose to protest. Be safe.

1. ISMI tracking is real; leave the phone home

2. Be aware of Forward Intelligence if you and a group are de-arresting. Officers have physical tells, look for pointing and whispering.
3. Do not bring an ID, if you can. Do not bring anything that could even remotely be framed for a weapons charge.

4. Wear a mask, keep it wet.

5. Memorize and distribute bust cards: https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/bustcard_eng_20100630.pdf

6. Always bring a change of clothes and a backpack you won't miss
7. Always be aware of aggitators, link bodies to prevent aggitators from running.

8. Avoid areas where police congregate around vehicles; snatch squads are a real threat and often undercover.

9. Always bring a pepper spray solvent, you can google many varieties
10. Do not ever post unedited photos or video, blur every face. Do not forget this.

11. Goggles will help.

12. Above all, watch the organizers. Keep them safe, follow their lead. Keep them hydrated, chant when they need a break.

Stay safe, do not relent.
I can attest to the Queens protestors as being incredible fine and decent people. Any escalation of violence, I ASSURE YOU, is the fault of law enforcement and outside aggitation. Be aware of these factors at all times, protests are ripe for total pandemonium.
