NonBlack Protestors at BLM PROTESTS, you do NOT:

- lead chants

- snitch

- let Black people get arrested or hurt

- vandalize/throw shit “in the name of” or “for Black people”

- you are not “mad FOR them”

- agitate or instigate cops

- Especially non Black PoC you do not center yourself and talk abt “being brown” this is abt BLACK PEOPLE.

- *ESPECIALLY WHITE PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BE ON THE FRONTLINE WHEN THE COPS ARE CONFRONTING THE GROUP

-YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR

- You do not record anyone doing something “illegal”

- Do NOT record unmasked Black ppl or PoC

- WHITE PEOPLE If the group takes off bc of tear gas or some reason you take the REAR AND BUY TIME FOR THEM YOU ARE LEAST LIKELY TO GET ARRESTED.

- you do not make signs that say “Latinos for Black lives” “Mexicans for Black lives” “Filipinxs for Black lives” or bring your fucking settler state flags. Black Latinxs/Hondurans/Mexicans/Filipinxs EXIST. They EXIST in your community already and they are not separate.

You’re making Black people separate from yourself when you do this and supporting the notion that your “real people” are only non Black and that’s antiBlack as fuck. You can acknowledge that your experience is different but BP are everywhere and part of all our communities.

Lastly a reminder Black people are hurting in a way we will never know. They’re mourning, angry, and scared. OUR place is to protect them and show them love and solidarity as they say/do all they need to. We show em that if they wanna burn these systems down we got the matches.

Don’t worry about “checking” Black people in these protests. Keep them from getting arrested, other Black ppl are the ones that are leading and doing that. We just keep them from being harmed. We ARE BUSY enough keeping nonBlack and white instigators in check

BE SAFE & DO BETTER
