Basic PPE kit (protest protection equipment): 1. A helmet, doesn’t need to be a fancy “tacticool” one. A construction hard hat is less than $15 and protects your grey matter. 2. Googles. Preferably ballistic rated but those can be hard to find. Ski googles or similar 👍🏾 1/
3. Mask; prevent that rona spread and protect yourself! Bandanas work well just stick with black. If you can find a balaclava that’s even better protects your identity better and keeps sweat from your eyes. 3.A respirator with organic filters (hard af to get rn) 2/
5. A flashlight. This is good for security sweeps and to annoy the fuck out of fascists. Fit all of this into a generic and CHEAP black backpack. At one point or another you WILL lose gear or have to ditch it, expect it and be prepared to do so.
6. A mouth guard. Keep your ability to eat, everyone needs to eat. (Thanks to comrades for pointing this as a needed addition)
4. A change of clothes in a sealed ziploc type bag (reduce pepper and tear gas contamination) allows you to de-bloc or change out of contaminated clothes. 5. A few water bottles, for both self-hydration and possible eye flushing. 4.a. A couple extra masks. For you or comrades. 3/
