- if the crowds are too big and you feel unsafe, attempt to move toward the side of the crowd to give yourself some space #AbolishPolice #AbolishPrisons #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #JusticeForGeorge #JusticeForBreonna #JusticeForAhmaud

If they start getting rough, you can say “I am not resisting” over and over. For the body cams.

During: - If stopped by police, keep ur hands raised and visible, ask if ur free to go, if they say no, ask if ur being detained, if they say yes, ask why (if u feel comfy) and tell them ur exercising ur right to remain silent and want to speak with a lawyer, keep repeating this

- Any medications and other health products you may need (a 3-day supply just in case you are arrested)—this includes an inhaler, EpiPen, menstrual products, etc. - A small bag to put essential items in—nothing too bulky that will weigh you down

- Your ID, credit card, cash, coins (in case you need to use a pay phone), medical alert bracelet, transit pass, paper and pen, and list of emergency contact numbers (just in case you can’t access your cellphone). Also jot down the National Lawyers Guild legal support hotline #

- Your cellphone – fully charged. Bring an extra battery or charger if you have one. Disable the fingerprint or face ID and text preview features on your phone (so that the police cannot unlock your phone without consent)

- A partner or go with a group of folks – establish a plan where to meet if y’all get separated and where to meet when y’all are ready to disperse. Create a group text. Share your GPS location with each other (and also send to friends and family who are not with you)

- Water and snacks - Plastic bag with a bandana soaked in water, lemon juice, or vinegar (helps with breathing if exposed to tear gas or mase)

What to bring and what to wear: - A mask and swimming goggles or sunglasses (to protect your eyes) - Comfortable running shoes, long sleeve shirt, pants, hat (cover all your skin) - Pin up your hair and do not wear loose items that can be pulled (like earrings)

- Check the weather (so you can dress accordingly) - Plan out your route, familiarize yourself with the area if you can – if you use mobility aids connect with protest organizers to see if they have a plan for alternative routes and other precautions

For those on the frontlines (or considering going out to protest) - here’s some helpful info on how to prepare.
