of course! & to anyone else that sees this, I know times are tough, but if you're able, please do what you can to support the NLG. They go above and beyond for activists and are a necessary component to our continued safety!

absolutely!

& if arrested, or in any police interaction-- SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

(6) Since this is a national protest, it's likely that the cops will be on edge (more than usual). If you are injured and require medical care, do not tell the hospital staff you were at the protest. Lie, lie, lie.

hope to see y'all there! Stay safe!

(5) have access to your cell. There will likely be national guard and swat presence. Ignore, don't aggitate. Dress in black block & wear shoes that you can run in if you need to flee. Mask up - prevent the spread of illness and support group anonymity.

(4) the national lawyers guild is an important resource in the event of arrest. www.michigannlg.org write this number on your arm: (313) 925-2626. This is the MI legal hotline. Bring a sharpie and share the # with those walking next to you. Don't just keep it in your phone. If arrested, you won't

(3) take the streets, but be mindful that michigan has a large nazi/white nationalist presence. In 2020, a woman drove her car through the crowd starting at sparrow, and didn't stop until Washington Ave. The cops protected her and her car. Police are not on our side, not even for a moment.

(2) kids, teens, black, brown, and trans comrades will be present. All the more reason to keep things peaceful. I'm all for smashing the state, but please be mindful of the political climate and the real danger of arrest for ppl that aren't palm colored and cisgender.

(1) since this doesn't appear to be headed by any local activist groups, I wanted to remind folx of a few things: in 2020 (blm protest) when we marched from grand river in east lansing to the capitol, there was a long pause in front of target due to national raids. stay focused, no side quests.
