Supplies for NYC Protestors: 

Who is distributing and how you can help

People handing out essential supplies on the ground, how to locate them, and how to support their work

OVERVIEW

If you’re a protestor on the ground and in need of support, the following people are distributing essential supplies (food, water, first aid, PPE) from mobile supply carts, stationary tables and vehicles, and traveling cars following marches. We will try and update locations of supply carts here in real time but please check their Instagram accounts for the most recent location or see below for ways you can help. This is a great way for people who need to stay socially distanced to support the protests.

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS WORK

Please Venmo donations to @protectprotestors (to be distributed among our supplying team members) or see below for individual Venmo accounts. 100% of funds will be going toward the cost of supplies, with excess donations and supplies to be distributed to community bail funds, Black Lives Matter, and community kitchens.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A VOLUNTEER WITH PROTECT PROTESTORS?

Protect Protestors is always in need and grateful for people looking to join the team to help in any way they can. We are currently working on our lists of volunteers and the best way to get involved would be to send an email to protestprotectionnyc@gmail.com.

Please use the subject line: Volunteer

Please include: your name, e-mail, phone number, location/borough, your availability, and if you have access to a car.

DO YOU HAVE A DONATION OF SUPPLIES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO REACH PROTESTORS?

Supply donations are an amazing way to directly support the protestors on foot that are marching every day to amplify black voices, demand justice now, and exercise true democracy. If you have a donation for pick-up or that you would like to drop off at one of our headquarters, please fill out this form:

If you have a pick-up needed, a Protect Protestors driver will contact you to coordinate a pick-up on your available days. If you have a drop-off, our Executive Director will contact you with daily headquarters information.
