KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: check out this information from the ACLU below
Plan ahead for the weather - prepare for heat, rain, cold, and wind. Have an emergency weather plan
Organize a group, share your location, and have an emergency contact. Do not protest alone
Make a plan - transportation, city regulations (like curfews), and meetup spots should be figured out ahead of time
Take care of those around you; recognize the signs of heat exhaustion during hot protests
Be considerate in picture-taking: protest pictures may put someone in danger
Use your privilege to help those who may be specifically targeted by the police or counter-protesters
