Before Protesting, Protect Yourself #BlackLivesMatter
Although most major U.S. cities have invoked a daily night curfew, what we hope are peaceful protests will still be continuing. For those who will be protesting, know everything before marching the streets.
Don’t share photos or videos that show protestor’s faces or tattoos, because this will allow the police to find and arrest them.
Please be wary and research protest locations and who exactly is organizing it and affiliated with it. There are secret White Supremacist groups lurking about and using the Black Lives Matter protests as traps.
Depending on what city you’re in, input these numbers in your phone or text it to a family member or friend before you head out to protest. Have it ready in case of any unlawful arrests.

If it as at all possible, try to keep a safe enough distance from those around you. There is still a pandemic happening and your health and safety come first.
