ACTION PREPARATION
Before you go out:
- Find a buddy or small trusted group and agree on level of risk together
- Agree on risk of covid exposure as well as risk of arrest; affinity groups commonly use a red/yellow/green system
- Make aftercare plans for moderate or high risk activity regardless; police and uprising spaces are unpredictable
- Tell someone you’re going out & make a plan to check in regularly
- Make additional plans to check in afterwards, doesn’t have to be the same person
- Complete a Jail Support Form: bit.ly/uatlform
- Give this form to a trust friend who won’t be on the frontlines
- For larger groups or organizations, collect forms prior to attendance and destroy afterwards every time (builds habit/protects information)
- BIPOC PROTESTERS: Email to upagainstthelawlc@riseup.net
- YT allies: Email to
- In permanent marker, write the Jail Support # 484-758-0388 on your body!
- Write it somewhere it can’t be easily wiped off (ie thigh or stomach)
- Eat a meal & hydrate
- Drink a little more water. Dehydration will stop revolution in its tracks.
- Take care of your body
- Take your meds, put on sunscreen
- Wear comfy clothes & shoes
- Do NOT wear synthetics or polyester, they can melt to your skin of they get too hot
- Choose a meeting place in case you get separated from your group
When you go out remember:
- A buddy! -- Never go out alone
- A mask
- Safety goggles
- A helmet (bike helmets work!)
- Snacks
- Water -- Pack twice as much as you think you’ll need or have a plan to refill
- Squirt top water bottle for eye flushes
- Umbrella for protection from rain & pepper spray
- Portable charger & phone cord
When you get home:
- Rest!
