Shopping list to protest safely

Here is your protest survival guide What to gather together and have readily available for protesting in the New Year.

A hard hat

Goggles/Safety glasses (to protect eyes from rubber bullets),

Very sturdy shoes

Face mask like in Covid (to help with tear gas)

Multiple umbrellas (helpful for rubber bullets but expect to lose one per protest)

Thick shirts hoodies preferred (Long sleeve hoodie to protect from bruises from rubber bullets)

Jeans

Gloves

Throw away phones

Ear protection (they use a very loud noise machine like one that should be illegal)

First aid kit

Water (to wash out eyes from tear gas)

Backpack

Friends to go with

Phone number of ACLU

If you can preferably bike to the protest site, to prevent license plate readers also try to bike on routes without many ring cameras.
