- Protest Tips for Safety and Effectiveness
- Do not take/share pictures and videos of protestors
- If possible leave your phone at home or turn it off
- Make sure to wear face coverings and to protect your identity by wearing plain clothing and unidentifiable shoes
- If you’re non-black especially white it’s important that you use your privilege to protect Black protestors ie. standing between them and the police, positioning on the front line, etc….
- Examples of using your privilege
- Write an emergency phone number on an unexposed part of your body
- Do not bring ID with you
- Go in groups
- 3 spoons of baking soda per glass of water to help with burning from tear gas/mace
- Don’t wear contacts or makeup, this will make it hard for you to get rid of the tear gas and mace
- Wear goggles if you can to protect your eyes from tear gas and mace
