Across the country, we have seen thousands flock to the streets to
protest George Floyd’s murder, the lack of justice his killers are
facing, police brutality, and the lack of equity and justice in this
country.

Many of you are heading out to the streets. Please make sure you stay
safe and come prepared and protected while still in the midst of the
covid pandemic. Please see this valuable resource from the Movement
For Black Lives and BlackOUT Collective.

Also, make sure you join M4BL’s Week of Action in Defense of Black
Lives. Awareness is only the first step, and we must continue to act.

[.We Keep Us Safe: Tips for Maintaining Safety
and Taking action in a Pandemic .                      1. Get a Crew -
Find a buddy or a group of folks to attend the action with. Make sure
you all                      maintain contact and check in with each
other throughout the action to make sure everyone
is safe.                      2. Make a GO Kit - Make sure you have
what you’ll need to prevent the spread of COVID-19
 and keep you safe. Bring a little more of these items than you think
you’ll need!                      a. Face masks
b. Hand sanitizer and gloves                      c. Small pouch of
milk and bottle of H2O                      d. Cotton balls soaked in
vinegar placed in a plastic bag                      3. Create Action
Agreements Before You Go - What is your crew willing to do and not do,
when                      do you leave, what time, do you have a
location outside of the protest zone, to gather if you
     get dispersed?                      4. Assess Risk Before You
Commit (and make sure your crew does too!)                      a. You
are the only one who can determine what level of risk you will take in
regards to                      COVID or risk during the action.
               5. Avoid Bringing Any Unnecessary Tech. Turn off Your
GPS. - Don’t bring your phone if you                      don’t have
to.                      6. Memorize 1-2 numbers of folks you trust in
the event that you are separated from your                      group
(and without your phone) and/or arrested. Have the number of a local
lawyer.                      7. Trust Your Gut - If something doesn’t
feel right, it probably isn’t! Find a safe space and
   connect with your crew immediately.                      8. Got a
Friend Who’s Always Right About People? Make them Your Vibes Watcher!
- Organize                      with folks you know and trust. Never
assign critical roles to folks you don’t know. Keep an
     eye out for folks looking to derail, disrupt, distract, and
divide.                      9. Try to maintain 6 ft of distance as
often as possible, don’t be afraid to move away from the
       crowd or ask others to make space around you.
   10. If there’s a risk of arrest, share important personal details
with a trusted offsite person - Give                      them your
government name, date of birth, any medical needs or conditions,
anything you’d                      need taken care of if you were
held for longer than a few hours, a day, etc.                      a.
If you are undocumented or not a citizen, know your immigration rights
before joining                      an arrestable
action.]<https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/3gA/ni0YAA/t.32b/DdGg9lfVRPyXXhM-0vxLHQ/h2/AgzEXDMpAgfAusFb1NRpLkp7ygYCeWAAhzS7Zx5crvtXSpfQoWF-2B3yTQLMXuuwv3-2B0d2ANnFq0pYtEnaoCeFA6liWFXjKaiZwShYeAy3xLyVGAHM-2FAk5EluUHuckX3n3jVHwdee-2B5-2F04-2Bf2iF8PMfxb0qS8OlsS-2B1cN3CS8KtRP9ZmdeHoCvtfH-2F94sns6LDe7E8LBZY1ldpXGQGHtUGUrIM7mbQCrxyvbMMt7S8SR4R7E0JCnEUq17kfUVTgZekeTXpCGivx66yWoH8k3XsuCWTLVLXJL0n5f6uQ-2Bw-2BdnofSVcbVh9lpJjtPPT894KTPUCTWsEbktlAH9wZdQuiXXngXSfuEIrud4pQ5QTeNFhXXNX2Zj-2Bx3vrnTcS6XpMh/SY4G>[https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/043/627/original/1PAGER_JPEG_02.png]<https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/3gA/ni0YAA/t.32b/DdGg9lfVRPyXXhM-0vxLHQ/h3/AgzEXDMpAgfAusFb1NRpLkp7ygYCeWAAhzS7Zx5crvvMbgKAuUeZtFtFnh6fF-2FOW3KbGg33dbGO3Oc7fYEi9rjYGBGBtOjyl0gd3J8KyEmYm2hNS99Lk-2BxNeU3igLStY5hpKqe5ABIcy-2Bn-2FqdFYML8ngdZzCF-2FxqNHRG2MER-2FXGExC-2FUW-2BxVOanhd8RfPTpejfcIHqhQnQS5XfResa82MXp2RAa-2FCiwBuXBLSxwGX3jvLpHv7coHNVlQNgN4QPlEWKV6IpNYPvenimrb3-2B-2FW1qNMkYSKN7rTN0vrabza7p3by-2BktG7-2F0BniIKXGLSnw2-2FUg71G-2BVtL9H1-2FUjcFgtj338mKToe1b1YekJM47F0u89pgWncS2HDUdg1il2eWyY/IYGF>[https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/043/628/original/1PAGER_JPEG_03.png]<https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/3gA/ni0YAA/t.32b/DdGg9lfVRPyXXhM-0vxLHQ/h4/AgzEXDMpAgfAusFb1NRpLkp7ygYCeWAAhzS7Zx5crvsEigF7Xr9CFHIOFQKVF6-2BS5fLDegXwKitSo71F-2Bcu6DskrA0Ym62g17RquMCyr0KL0gBdy0VGxXuoOSNZUzXfahPdwogHJpxZYxLMEWmbHETXSxZKxZD7erGCnTdiYD8gnm0VSg513jleTXSxDYevxLrlqZrIbAoFYKu-2FLkAosdLMKQGYWebGw7oFXL2jtoOmCcWmu4Ya4BkpMA2SRv86b95l2YtV5s1QWjdOoRC43Iq8lHvi-2FHlpXgwJesN2EEEEzKERjujwsQnzYzifJvARL-2BteicaPNIiyDwMEiLvaC7aoBYOUllqtkM3tbALR9uZhHSgiTd4gWmhrqaZjen9yH/7Zx6>[https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/043/629/original/1PAGER_JPEG_04.png]<https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/3gA/ni0YAA/t.32b/DdGg9lfVRPyXXhM-0vxLHQ/h5/AgzEXDMpAgfAusFb1NRpLkp7ygYCeWAAhzS7Zx5crvulevvZGf3VZmchuF6WgZn859BBo0D1MxplXyKOeeFlDT0Lg8fGx9bNpBwHDJoHuzXZhI3YAYGMcrI3M0R8E13iuX9Dp-2BY-2FoIofB5gHsVQfuCrURZ0dTpccv0nmq-2FWDiu6Pf-2FHcVGD1Q4MuvTHTZUf8JbwseTkhEqhMknmB2vDCMsrLPVWwaHTVuJZ9bgHJihubZss3LemHamQOiC0WbDZpVrZRVI18w0cvOYASvUY4BYXqtU-2Bf4MxCL0s-2F4OLxAl0yfIWugJ-2BU0-2FHhzfeoxKDsadO7BkZ-2B1g8V9ZIgo9QMxKpT8q3nOjRr-2FW7NGbFFxMU-2FtMWgonBMoKKhHlJOq1B1/EpjE>
