  • Someone created a twitter thread of alternative actions people without the means to donate can take. Here is that thread.
  • This document was written a number of years ago for people who cannot protest, whatever the reason may be.
  • I want to encourage everyone to write to Joshua Williams, who was arrested when he was 18 during the Ferguson Uprising. He's up for parole in June. Details here.
  • YouTuber Zoe Amira is donating 100% of her ad revenue from this video to bail funds and memorial funds. You cannot skip the add for this to work properly!
  • A non-official Black Lives Matter "Ways you can help" page.

FOR PARENTS & TEACHERS WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE

Always remember that if black children are “old enough” to experience racism, white children are “old enough” to be taught about racism.

Section III: For People Protesting

TIPS FOR PROTESTERS


Always cover your face and cover any unique body parts such as birthmarks, tattoos, or scars.
Wear comfortable clothing that is generic with muted colors. Try to use clothing to disguise the shape of your body. If you have a smartphone, put it in a ziploc freezer bag and turn your location off.

MEDICAL & SAFETY ADVICE (INCL. SANITATION + PPE)
Novice First Aid instructions here: www.stopthebleed.org

  • This Google Doc contains the best practices for before, during, and after protests.
  • This Twitter thread contains reminders and new information about maintaining your respiratory health while protesting.
  • Avoid posting and resharing photos that could help police, white supremacist groups, and employers identify the people protesting. Blur other people’s faces, tattoos, or other identifiable attributes if you’re going to post!
  • “Riot Medicine” - A Twitter thread.
  • Sew or use safety pins to close up pockets and don't carry easy to open bags. Police put illegal things in them and use what they say they've found to bring cases against people.
  • Write out ICE (in case of emergency contact) and notes about any required medication or medical problems. Phone numbers of doctors are not a bad idea either.
  • It is best not to bring prescription medications to the protests. If you do, you’re encouraged to bring the bottle containing your prescription. Police are likely to give you a hard time, but it’s safer to have the bottle your meds came in.
  • Avoid wearing your contacts! Tear gas is particularly harmful for you!
  • If you are protesting while seated and someone begins to attack you, cover the back of your neck and your lower back with your arms.
  • Avoid posting and resharing photos that could help police, organized and unorganized white supremacist groups, and employers identify the people protesting.

GENERAL SOCIAL MEDIA TIPS

  • Click here if you’re not sure how to blur people’s faces, tattoos, and other identifying attributes.
  • Do not use your social media page to discourage looting or “violent protest”. It’s counterrevolutionary to use your platform this way. Human lives are never worth less than property. There is no purpose in engaging these discussions.
  • A quick response: "Violence aimed at the recovery of human dignity and at equality cannot be judged by the same yardstick as violece aimed at maintenance of discrimination and oppression.” - Walter Rodney
  • For those Using Social Media

SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION

  • The best policy is to watch what you text and to make sure you’re not including your location on your social media posts. Turn off your location!
  • Tool for quickly scrubbing metadata from images and selectively blurring faces and identifiable features. Phone or Desktop. Credit

FOR POLICE INTERACTIONS: This tweet teaches you how to set a Shortcut to film your encounters with police and to contact your emergency contact.

ON SIGNAGE & IN-PERSON CONDUCT

  • Do not share videos and photos of the murder of George Floyd or any other Black person who has been murdered police - or anyone for that matter! These videos are the lynching postcards of our time.
  • Do the work to unlearn and to fight all of your racist conditioning re: innocence and criminality.
