BTW if this is your first time protesting, please keep in mind your abilities.
What I mean by that- is take a look at yourself, and your privledges. How can you use that to the protests advantage?
Please make sure to listen to your fellow protestors, but one thing that can help- is that if you are white, white passing- put yourself between the cops and hijabi protestors. Ask to connect arms with them. Stay grouped TIGHTLY together.
Do not push cops directly. If they are grabbing a fellow protestor and trying to drag them out, you and a buddy should close in and cut the cop off. Bring your fellow protestor back into the crowd. Keep them safe.
Cops will do their best to break up large groups into smaller ones to make it easier to detain, arrest, or beat innocent people.
And on another note- if you have the resources, please remember to bring extra head coverings, or extra fabric that can be used as such. Not only to help fight against gas and smoke attacks, but also to throw over the many hijabi students who get attacked.
#free palestine#palestine protest#if you or someone you know are hurt scream as LOUD as you can for a medic. people who know what they are doing will find you#gas masks are preferable for any smoke and gas related attacks bjt thats not always very budget friendly#also remember to not instigate or retaliate bc they WILL use it as “they were getting violent!!” DOESNT MATTER THAT THEY STARTED IT#ALWAYS think about your group's formation. ALWAYS look for the nonviolent option#for the sake of your fellow protestors. if you are white and start shit YOU arent gonna be the one facing the harshest consequences#it will be one of your POC peers who DIDNT DO SHIT who is gonna feel the backlash#all things to keep in mind as the protests ramp up
