CounterAct has been trying to make the case to broader civil society and resourced organisations of the need to #ProtectProtest and support civil resistance - human stories and first hand accounts can help - we got feedback that it was helpful to hear these at a recent webinar presentation to NGO's.
Its a last ditch effort before we close this December! Please don't re-traumatise yourself - and keep it very simple. If its useful to you "vent" and write more - that's absolutely fine, but bear in mind we may need to just pick sections to edit for clarity, and collate.
Write in the first person about what you feel about the situation, or how its impacted you physically, mentally, emotionally.
This is genuinely anonymous, unless you prefer otherwise. It may be used in a brief report, presentation or other public context.

We definitely recommend against google forms and the over-reliance of google by activists, as its gathering data for the government in an easily obtainable form - the level of repression is increasing, which should require a change in security practices in our opinion, but this is designed to gather information that may be publicly shared - and not linked to names unless you would like that (its welcome, but not necessary)
Please use a @Prefernot email address if you don't wish to disclose anything
