I'd add, a helmet for concussion prevention. Concussions are common during many violent militarized cop assaults on activists. A bike or construction helmet is fairly affordable or easy to borrow/get for free. They help with concussion prevention at huge protests with a lot of aggressive police violence. Saying this because 2 of my former activist friends are brain injured & needing caregiving for rest of their lives, from their heads being bashed into cement & walls by cops.

@evn @msquebanh sadly I’m past it. The way LEOs behave now is even more violent and I’m at an age where a hard fall would have serious consequences. I’ve got an older spouse to care for. Had to pass the torch.

Also don’t video unless you are in a position to get away from law enforcement as in able to run and dodge. Don’t assume a crowd standing together to video is safe. Know your exit points , have a plan. Wear a hoodie , cap, and sunglasses you can throw away after you attain a relatively safe spot. Treat it like a bank robbery and have detailed contingency plans.
