Reproductive rights in America have drastically changed. The US Supreme
Court [36]has overturned Roe v. Wade, which opens the doors to states
criminalizing abortion and blocking access to information about it.
Certain [37]legal experts note that the language used in the current
draft from Justice Samuel Alito could further erode protections
surrounding birth control, gay marriage, and interracial marriage,
which implies additional civil rights are under threat.

This guide to safe protesting was originally written in 2020 during the
nationwide outcry over [38]police brutality, which overwhelmingly
targets Black people like [39]George Floyd, [40]Breonna Taylor, and
[41]Tony McDade. Whether you’re marching for racial justice,
reproductive rights, or climate conservation, our advice applies to
most protests.

If you're thinking about joining a protest near you, there are some
crucial factors to consider: Police brutality is an abstract concept
for some but a stark reality for others. Similarly, few people
[42]think about abortion access until they need it. There are ways you
can contribute [43]to police brutality causes or to [44]abortion funds
and [45]independent clinics if you don't feel safe protesting or are
otherwise unable to physically do so. You can also donate time to
community groups, drop off supplies for protests, or contact local
legislators.

That being said, protesting is a right of all Americans under the First
Amendment (more on that below). Before you head out, you should know
that [49]police across the country have acted with unnecessary force,
including [50]driving vehicles through crowds, [51]partially blinding a
photojournalist, and [52]macing children. The [53]list goes on and on.

If you still want to join in, we've gathered some advice, as well as a
list of items you may want to bring with you. Be careful, and stay
safe.

What to Bring (and Not Bring) to a Protest

It's smart to have supplies on hand for a day of protesting. We
recommend the following. You probably have everything you need around
the house, and if not, these items will likely be accessible at your
local stores. We've included some links to online retailers for your
reference.
* A bag and/or backpack: You'll need something small and durable. I,
Louryn, use a cheap [62]daypack from Walgreens for most supplies,
and I also strap on a belt bag, which I use to hold the essential
items I'd need if I were to lose my backpack. Use whatever you have
on hand that lets you keep your hands free. If you don't have
anything, we have a list of our [63]favorite fanny packs. And while
your bag should be big enough to hold all the supplies you need, be
sure to avoid anything too bulky.
* Water: There's a good chance that your protest will include a
march, so you need to pay attention to proper hydration. Carry
drinking water. Bring the biggest bottle that you can fit in your
bag. Water can also be used to clean wounds and flush the eyes of
anyone who's been hit with chemical gas or pepper spray.
* A face mask or bandana: There's still a [64]pandemic going on, with
[65]over 1 million Americans dead from Covid-19. Take precautions
and cover your face with a mask or [66]bandana. Face coverings also
have the benefit of shielding your identity from cameras and police
surveillance. (We have a separate guide about [67]digital privacy
during protests.). Bring an extra mask if you have one.
* A hat and/or sunglasses: Aside from shielding you from the sun
during a long day of marching, hats and sunglasses can obscure your
face from surveillance and protect your privacy. If you wear a hat,
and you're interested in further protecting your identity, keep the
brim low.
* Snacks: You are likely in for a long day. Pack lightweight,
nutritious, protein-rich snacks. [68]Jerky, [69]energy bars, and
[70]nuts are all good picks.
* Protest signs: If you want to carry a sign, there are some things
to consider. Ensure that your slogan is in big, bold letters that
can be easily read from far away. Short and punchy sayings are
arguably better than a block of script. [71]Poster board is
flexible, but stiffer [72]foam board is more durable. You can affix
[73]paint-stir sticks or other flat, wooden sticks to the sign
using strong tape to create a handle. You might want to make extras
to hand out to fellow protesters. Don't litter—when you're done
with your sign, dispose of it properly, or donate it to another
protester.
* Suitable clothing: It's a good idea to wear all black, both because
that's what the organizers of most solidarity protests suggest and
because it helps you blend in with a crowd. It's also
[74]recommended that you cover any tattoos, if you can, and that
you hide your hair if it's dyed a distinctive color.
* A change of clothes: If you're protesting on a particularly hot
day, you may want to have extra clothes. These can also come in
handy if you're exposed to substances that can hurt your skin or if
you're splashed with paint, gross road water, or other people's
sweat. I usually carry a pair of shorts, a tank top, and an extra
pair of socks in my backpack.
* Hand sanitizer: You might find yourself holding hands with a
stranger, grabbing onto gunky street signs, or tripping and falling
into a puddle. All these scenarios coupled with [75]Covid-19 make
hand sanitizer an essential thing to carry. Most stores now have at
least some form of hand sanitizer in stock, but we also have a
[76]guide on making your own.
* Good walking shoes: This is nonnegotiable. Wear closed-toe shoes
that are broken in and good for walking long distances.
* Your ID (maybe): If you're detained, not having your ID on you
might keep you stuck for longer. However, in some states, [77]you
might not have to show the police your ID if they ask for one. Use
your best judgment, and consider looking up the laws for your state
for more specific guidance.
* Your phone (maybe): To [78]protect your privacy and prevent
surveillance, the best thing you can do is leave your phone at
home. Consider using a secondary or [79]burner phone instead. If
you want to bring your phone, avoid using traditional phone calls
and texts if at all possible. [80]Signal is a secure,
[81]end-to-end encrypted messaging app that offers the option to
delete messages after they're sent. You should also disable
biometric unlocking, like FaceID or fingerprint features, and use a
six-digit passcode instead. If you do need to carry your primary
phone, keep it turned off until you absolutely need to use it. This
will make it harder for law enforcement to track your movements.
* Cash: Just like your phone can leave digital breadcrumbs indicating
your whereabouts, using your debit or credit card will make it
easier for the authorities to track your movements. Instead, bring
cash. Separate your bills; stash some in your bag, and keep some on
your person, either in your shoe, your bra, your pants pockets, or
somewhere else secure.
* A power bank: If you or members of your group will have a phone,
you need to make sure that you have a way to charge devices. Other
protesters may need to charge their gear as well. If you don't have
one already, I really like [82]this option from Anker. The company
also makes another [83]good power bank that's a bit smaller.
* Other things you may want: A [84]cooling towel. Duct tape or
gaffer's tape. A flashlight or a headlamp. Ibuprofen. [85]Goggles.
Blister-prevention patches. Extra hair ties. A pen and paper. A
Sharpie. A laser pointer. Bandages or other first aid supplies. Ear
plugs. Saline solution. Extra face masks. A copy of emergency phone
numbers and a card declaring necessary medical information that
someone may need to know if you're unable to tell them yourself
(for example, if you have asthma or if you're hard of hearing).
Medications that need to be taken on a schedule (in a labeled
prescription bottle if possible) with the understanding that you
may be away from home much longer than anticipated.

Before You Leave

We asked some organizers and civil action experts about key things to
understand about protesting. Here's their advice.
Educate Yourself

Do not go to a protest without knowing what it is you're fighting for.
Don't show up and ask someone there to educate you. If you're an ally,
do the work yourself and study as much as possible—not only about the
actions you're protesting but the context around them. You might know
that reproductive rights are threatened, but do you know about the
historical fight for access to abortion in America? There are
[86]several books you can read right now to gain more knowledge about
this topic.
Realize It’s Not About You

Tony Williams, a member of MPD150, a Minneapolis-based coalition that
has studied the history of police activity and seeks police-free
alternatives to community safety, shared crucial advice for anyone who
is not personally impacted, but wants to attend a protest. “The most
important thing to realize—especially if you’re a white person going
out for the first time to protest police brutality against Black
people—is that you’re showing up in solidarity with other people,” said
Williams. “It’s not your job to decide how things should go. It’s your
job to show up and listen and be in support. Deprioritizing yourself is
an incredibly important part of the experience.” Be prepared to amplify
what others are saying. Be prepared to listen. If you aren't
comfortable with potentially physically intervening, shielding
vulnerable protesters from police violence, and listening more than you
speak, your efforts to be an ally are likely better spent elsewhere.
Get in the Right Mindset

Mental preparation is important. Protesting can be physically grueling
and emotional taxing. You may experience sheer joy. You might cry. You
might get angry. You might get scared. Most likely, you'll experience
all of the above. Take the time to prepare yourself before heading out.
Make sure to drink some water, apply sunscreen, and eat a meal.
Know Your Rights

In the US, it’s [87]entirely within your rights to peacefully
demonstrate in public. The basic act of assembling and protesting
action by the government is unquestionably protected, according to the
First Amendment Coalition, a California-based nonprofit that’s
committed to protecting freedom of speech. Also, as a general matter,
“people have the right to film or otherwise document things that are
happening in the public space,” says David Snyder, director of the FAC.
“If police demand that you turn over your notes, I would say that you
can assume they don’t have the right to seize that.” That said, if it
comes down to a matter of force and you are physically outmatched, you
may have to weigh the risks to your immediate personal safety,
potentially have your notes or phone stripped from you, and pursue
legal action later on. Also, Snyder notes, the First Amendment to the
Constitution does not protect protesters who engage in unlawful
activity, which includes destroying property or assaulting other
people.
Form a Group

If you can avoid it, don't protest alone. It's important that you go
with at least one other person so you can have each other's backs.
There is strength in numbers. Know your "roles" within the group before
you go so you can be prepared for anything. For example, maybe one of
you is prepared to drive the group home if the situation gets dicey,
maybe one of you has first-aid training, or maybe one of you is
hyper-observant and prepared to monitor your surroundings to keep tabs
on the vibe. Stay close to your group. Meet up beforehand, stick
together the entire time, and leave the protest together. If you don't
have a group, check social media sites—there are probably discussions
where you can find people to meet up with locally.
Make a Plan

There will be a lot of people and a lot of emotions. You need to have a
plan for what to do if the situation escalates. Pick a spot to meet if
your group gets separated for a certain amount of time. (For example,
if you get separated for more than 30 minutes, you meet back at a
designated street corner.) It might be smart to have a few spots to
meet at in case one is inaccessible. You should also have multiple
routes planned for if you need to leave and streets are blocked off. Is
there a curfew where you live? Have previous protests in your city
escalated to violence? Will there be portable bathrooms stationed along
the route, or should you map out places to relieve yourself after
chugging water all day? Prep a plan.
Take Out Your Contact Lenses

If you're exposed to tear gas or pepper spray, contacts will make the
experience much worse. Wear glasses if you have them. If you wear
contacts, protect your eyes with sunglasses at the minimum, though
ideally you'll be wearing goggles or keeping them handy. For the same
reason, avoid wearing makeup or oil-based products like lotions, as the
irritants in dispersion measures deployed by police can stick to them.
Write Down Emergency Numbers

Write down your emergency contacts' information. Write down the number
of emergency legal counsel—several law firms offer pro bono
representation for arrested protesters. Research the firms in your
area. You may also want to write down the number of a local bond fund.
You should have two copies of these phone numbers on your person—write
them in the notepad stashed in your bag, on the hem of your shirt, or
on a notecard that you keep in your pocket. As a redundancy, you can
also write them somewhere on your body (like your forearms), preferably
in permanent marker.
While You’re at the Protest

Once you arrive and join in with your fellow protesters, follow this
advice on how to behave and how to stay safe.
Study Your Surroundings

You can designate a certain person in your group to make this a top
priority, but regardless of who you're with, you should maintain
awareness of what's going on around you. This is important for numerous
reasons. Is someone wearing steel-toed boots, a colored armband, and a
hearing device, and also showing the outline of handcuffs in their
pocket? That person might be [88]an undercover cop. Is someone carrying
a bag of supplies emblazoned with a big red cross? They might be a
street medic. Did a protester fall down and get hurt while marching?
Open eyes and ears will help you react more quickly when needed.
Help Those Around You

If you're marching, you're probably going to be in close proximity to a
few dozen other protesters. These are the people you'll be chanting
with, walking with, and closest to if the situation escalates. Be
friendly with them. Offer them water if you've got extra, or hold their
stuff while they tie their shoes. Solidarity can start small. Remember
that you're in a massive crowd; assume your actions are being watched
and that your words are being listened to.
Consider the Ethics of Taking Photos

It is your right to take photos at any protest in the streets or on
public property. However, a protest is not a social media photo op. You
should avoid taking photos of protesters that clearly show identifying
information like their faces or their tattoos, since those photos could
make them vulnerable to abuse or retaliation. Law enforcement may also
respond with force if you point your camera at them, even though it is
well within your rights to film their actions.
A Note on Engaging With the Police

If you're white, you can use your privilege to your advantage. Your
presence in the crowd can prevent more police brutality against people
of color and Black people in particular. You can [89]shield people of
color with your body if necessary and if you're comfortable doing it.
You can also film arrests and police activity in general—[90]it's your
right to do so. But we can't prepare you for every situation you'll
encounter. Study up on the effects of the [91]nonlethal weapons that
could be used against you. Do what makes you comfortable and what makes
sense at the time.
What to Avoid

When you're protesting, the actions you don't take can be just as
important as the actions you do. Here's some advice about what not to
do while demonstrating.
Don’t Run

Humans, just like other animals, can be profoundly influenced by this
tricky thing called [92]collective behavior. When you're in a group,
your brain takes cues from said group, and you'll react to things based
on how the group reacts. This is why, if someone starts running while
you're in a crowd, you automatically get the urge to run as well. You
might not even know why they're running, but a message in your brain
says, "OK, it's time to go." Running also draws attention to yourself
and those around you, which isn't ideal at a demonstration where
protesters are being targeted for violence. For these reasons, it's
important that you refrain from running while protesting—you might
incite a panic, hurt someone, or hurt yourself. If you need to move
quickly, that's OK, but try to avoid running if you can help it. If you
need to leave the larger group, move quickly and calmly to the edge of
the crowd, out of the throng of people. When returning home, try to
find a side street or a route that's out of the way, and stay with your
smaller group.
Don’t Police Other People’s Behavior

You are going to see a lot of folks behaving in a lot of different
ways. If somebody's behavior makes you uncomfortable to the point that
you're considering asking a fellow protester to stop doing something,
it's time to leave. This includes emotional public speaking, tagging,
looting, or provoking the police. If you aren't comfortable with what's
happening, take that as your cue to head home.
Don’t Participate in Protest Tourism

Do not travel to another location to protest. Now is the time to
strengthen your ties with your own community. You can still donate to
organizations in locations close to your heart, but when it comes to
physical actions, your energy and efforts are best spent within your
own locale.
What to Do If …

We can't prepare you for every possible scenario. In unknown
situations, your common sense and your best judgment should guide you.
But for the circumstances listed below, these tips may help you form a
plan.
… You’re Exposed to Tear Gas

Tear gas is a thick, powdery fog that sticks to moisture like saliva,
sweat, tears, and mucous membranes and causes an intense burning
sensation. If gas is used, it's important to stay calm, because
panicking will worsen the effects. Follow airplane rules: Help yourself
before helping others. If a tear gas canister is deployed, move away
from the cloud, quickly and calmly. Try to keep your breathing slow and
even. If you're able, try to help those around you move away from the
cloud. Tear gas is heavier than air and eventually falls, so move to
higher ground if you're able.

You'll need to [93]flush out your eyes. The best thing to use for this
is water. Protesters and street medics have used what's called a LAW
solution, which is a mixture of 50 percent unflavored liquid antacid
and 50 percent water. Protesters and street medics have also used a
baking soda solution consisting of a teaspoon of baking soda for every
8.5 ounces of water. These solutions are fully effective only if they
are thoroughly mixed. Blinking rapidly encourages natural tear
production and can help flush the eyes. Do not use milk; it's less
effective, can spoil quickly, and can cause infections, especially in
eyes. You should also blow your nose and spit—and avoid sniffing or
swallowing, as this may worsen symptoms. Change your clothing as soon
as possible. Take a shower as soon as possible too, but use cold water,
as hot water can make the burning sensation worse.
… You’re Exposed to Pepper Spray

Some of the same advice applies here. Move away quickly and try to
remain as calm as you can. Change your clothes as soon as you can.
Avoid touching your face or any other area that was exposed. Pepper
spray is oil-based, so it can be trickier to remove, and it spreads
over the skin easily. Water will help with symptoms, but it won't
remove the irritating oils. LAW solution, baking soda solution, or
diluted "no tears" shampoo are more effective.
… You Encounter a Violent Police Officer

Say as little as possible. You are [94]not obligated to have a
conversation with the police. In most states, you need to give an
officer your name and address if they ask for it. This is why it's
important to look up the specific laws for your location before the
protest. Stay calm, keep your hands where officers can see them, and
consider filming the interaction as unobtrusively as possible as a
safeguard. You may be able to make a plan with the members of your
group where those not involved in a police encounter can film it as a
bystander. Try to write down or remember the officer's badge number and
any defining characteristics (like height, eye color, or tattoos) if
the badge number isn't visible.
… You Encounter the National Guard

Listen to and follow the orders being dictated by the National Guard.
If you are planning to engage in civil disobedience, be prepared for
the very realistic scenario of encountering [95]crowd-dispersal
measures like tear gas or less-lethal rifle rounds, and getting
detained or arrested. Understand the consequences that may pertain to
you specifically; if you're undocumented, a person of color, or belong
to any marginalized group, your course of action here may be different
from that of a white protester. Use common sense, take cues from the
protest organizers, and keep your safety and the safety of others
around you in mind.
… You’re Arrested or Detained

Since you did your research before you left, and you [96]know your
rights, you're prepared for this. According to the ACLU, you should say
you wish to remain silent, and immediately ask for a lawyer. Do not
resist arrest, even if you think what's happening is unfair. Write down
the badge number of your arresting officer, if possible. Ask for a
phone call. Note that arrests during protests don't always follow the
typical pattern of arrests that might ensue from something like a
traffic stop. You might be left waiting for hours without access to a
phone. You might not have any information about what's going to happen
next, or when. Try to stay as calm as possible, and follow instructions
given to you. If needed, you can pursue legal action once you're home
and safe.
… You See Someone Getting Arrested

If you witness an arrest or police brutality happening in public, you
[97]have a right to film it. Do not intervene physically, and do not
try to hide the fact that you are recording. If you're white, your
presence alone may deter additional police brutality, and filming
interactions may further bolster that deterrence.
After the Protest

If you were motivated by a specific cause or call to action, don’t just
go home after you’ve marched and consider it done. Follow up with the
organizers and ask if there’s more action to take or how you might
continue to push local leaders toward policies you consider more just.
Even if you weren’t able to show up in person, there’s still a lot you
can do from home, says Lila Eltawely, who sits on the board of the
Minneapolis-based advocacy group [98]Reviving Sisterhood. “Buying
supplies and food for people who are on the ground works too. It’s all
a chain,” she says. “Protesting is on a spectrum. Some of us have the
ability to go outside and hold up a sign, and some of us are not able
to. So whatever helps the overall goal of the current situation helps.”
