Our country is in turmoil. The national guard is rolling up in Oakland. ICE has been scooping up people attending courthouses "doing the right thing" in San Jose.
everyone at the protests now and this weekend:
- stay safe by having exit strategies
- bring digital cameras to document
- if you can leave your phone at home, do so
- keep part of your face covered
- keep goggles and face masks on you
- those who can carry water and baking soda, do so
- if mounted units show, keep your body on the opposite side of an object like a pole or garbage can
- watch for kettling and instigation -- de escalate as much as possible
- come with a group and watch for each other
- when experiencing escalation techniques, SIT DOWN when safe to do so
To the police, mystery unmarked people, federal agents, and military being dispatched by the president and ice: are you here to serve the country and its people? or for a man who only has HIS best interests in mind, consequences be damned? Do you want active oppression to be part of your legacy?
*I am not a professional organizer. these are things I've gleaned over time. your experience may vary
**people in Santa Clara County, if you suspect you see ICE in action, contact for them to dispatch peaceful, trained observers to help document, keep people safe, and confirm or dispel if ICE is present
