Protest and Counter-Protest Safety
General Safety
The following are universal protest safety tips in our experience. These also appear in most protest / counterprotest guides we’ve seen.
- Travel and attend with a buddy or in groups
- Plan how you’ll get to the counter-protest and back home
- Let people know where you’re going and when you’ll be home
- Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather
- Bring face masks, water, and snacks
- Maintain a safe distance from 1MM4C protestors.
- Do not approach, talk to, or confront people individually.
- If a 1MM4C protestor is provoking you: ignore them and walk away.
- If your counter-protest has designated safety marshalls, let them know if someone is acting aggressively (on either side)
