10. Plan Your Exit
Know how you’re getting home. Discuss your exit plan BEFORE going into the streets to protest. No one should know your plan outside the people you trust.

9. Stay Peaceful but be Strategic!
Know the protest’s goals and the organizer’s message. Be intentional with your presence — chants, signs, and action should align with the protest’s purpose. This moment is bigger than you realize.

8. Document, but Carefully!
If you film or take photos, be mindful not to expose faces or identities of attendees unless you have consent. Cover protestors’ faces in posts when possible to protect their safety. #protestbasics

7. Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Your head needs to stay on a swivel. Know where the exits are, remember landmarks, and always expect potential dangers. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.

4. Leave No Digital Trail
Turn off Face/Touch ID and location services. Don't post pictures and selfies in real time. Focus on the space and the message, not the number of likes for a post. #nokings
