I know quite a few of you are very pacifist. All I really have to say to that is :joker-troll: . Can't wait to watch :amerikkka: .

    I hadn't thought about jail plans. Any good tips on that or a direction with info to point me in?

      Write the NLG phone number on your arm. Don't bring your phone or, if you have to, make sure that it's locked with a password instead of biometrics and never unlock it when in custody for any reason. Check with local orgs and see if they're running jail support.

        Also if you menstrate, no tampons or menstrual cups for protests. During the George Floyd protests pigs ziptie arrested people and left them like that for hours.

        No contacts either incase you get pepper sprayed

        Oh I thought you meant more like, prepare for how it’s going to be in jail and how it’ll affect your week type thing. Like trying to mitigate its effect on work or something

          Someone should know you're going to protest, tell then there's a chance you'll get arrested and if you do they need to cover for you/message your boss or take care of pets

        If you write your phone number on your arm make sure it isn't too too visible, if chuds see it in a video they'll zoom in and harass the person, making it impossible to get a hold of them if you do get arrested

        Edit: sorry thats only for if its like a friends number

          Don't write anything except the NLG number, and make sure it's somewhere that's covered by clothing.

      Get some lawyers in your org or at least have your org in contact with some sympathetic lawyers. Organize a bail fund.

      People who are legally vulnerable in your org (non-citizens, prior criminal history, already on bail etc) should be encouraged to avoid protests where arrests are more likely
