How To Prepare For Protests

What to Wear

  • swimming goggles, gas maks, or bandana in case tear gas is thrown

  • clothing covering head to toe

  • mask for corona and to hide face from government

  • comfortable shoes

  • extra clothes in case clothes contaminated by chemicals

What to Bring​

  • bottle of water

  • ID Card

  • money (in case payphone is needed)

  • first aid kit, wipes, tissues, hand sanitizer, bandanas, scarves

  • milk & water/baking soda mixture

  • snacks & bookbag

  • painkillers (ibuprofen, tylenol, ect)

  • portable charger

Additional Facts​

  • When tear gas is thrown, try to cover it with a traffic cone and pour water onto it.

  • cover all unique parts of you so police cannot identify you and take you away

  • take pics and videos while phone is locked and keep phone on airplane mode so the gov cannot hack in and delete your stuff (yes they are doing this).

  • maybe bring in a scissor in case the police tie your hands extremely tightly and lock you in a room (they are doing this too)

  • bring water balloons filled with paint to throw at police so they cannot see (if they get violent)

  • bring umbrellas in case attacked by rubber bullets
