EVENT RULES

What to expect

Pasifika First Friday is honored to present Pacific Islanders for Black Lives Matter: Solidarity March & Die-In in collaboration with the Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter in Salt Lake City. As an art platform, Pasifika First Fridays is pleased to invite you as a catalyst for change in the protest production of Solidarity March & Die-in. Assembled by local Pasifika artists, the art demonstration will serve as an interactive resource of information on how to implement and sustain best practices of amplifying Black voices as allies.

What to wear

Wear comfortable shoes and enough layers for the temperature. Due to COVID19, masks/face coverings are required. It is critical to maintain 6-feet social distancing remains important to slowing the spread of the virus.

What to bring

Bring only the essentials: your ID, cash, a bank card, your phone and a portable charger if you have one. It's also important to stay hydrated and full, so Pasifika First Fridays will be providing water and light snacks (as supplies last). And don’t forget your signs! Wearable, foldable banners and signs smaller than 20’ x 3’ x ¼” will be allowed at the rally, but they can't be mounted on wooden or metal poles.

How to interact with law enforcement

Demonstrators at large, peaceful marches like this typically don't interact with the police unless they are doing something illegal like purposefully blocking a road. If you get stopped by the police, the ACLU says you should "stay calm, be polite, and don't run."

How to deal with counterprotesters

Remember that counterprotesters have rights, too. As long as they are not physically interfering with the main demonstration, they can attend the event and speak out.
