@shauna Not a flyer, but maybe this? https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights
Know Your Rights | Protesters’ Rights | ACLU
The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure you’re prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets.
