Emphasis Peaceful Messaging

De-escalation, Mutual Care, Disciplined Non-violence

Watch for tunneling or kettling where large protests are funneled into increasingly smaller spaces

Stay in the periphery of a crowd, keeping an eye out for exits away from the crowd

you are attending rallies, not protests

Call attention to people acting oddly or using inflammatory words or behavior, get others to help. Give organizers a chance to de-escalate

If you are detained, say nothing. Do not talk to anyone else. Ask for a lawyer. Keep silent until you have access to a lawyer, and only a lawyer.
