[Top of post] Before you go... [underneath that is text that reads] research your protest, make sure that the event is being hosted by a legitimate and vetted organization. bring a friend, strength in numbers. 50501 encourages you to carpool. win win. have a plan on how to reconnect if you get separated. Figure out your route there and back ahead of time, whether its carpool, bus, or bike, figure out your best route ahead of time. review the first aid station, ensure that you have access to medication, first aid kits, water, and a safe place to rest at the protest. [underneath that] And most importantly, know your rights

[top of post] what not to bring to a protest [underneath that text] eye contacts, opt for glasses instead. jewlery, if you have a rubber ring, wear that instead of metal ones. absolutely no loose jewelry. You might want to consider leaving your phone at home or keeping it on airplane mode, leaving debit and credit cards and using cash instead.

[top of post reads] What should I bring to a protest? [underneath that reads text] Water-a good rule is 1 gallon per hour, more based on local weather. Snacks, trail mix or protein bars are a good option. Comfortable Shoes, anything you can easily stand, walk run in. A hat or sunscreen, something to keep you safe from the elements. Protest signs or noise makers, amplify our message "defend democracy, reject oligarchy". First Aid Kit, personal medications such as inhaler and practical items such as bandaid or menstrual products. bring ear plugs. Emergency information, be that a personal phone number or Emergency contact. phone numbers in case of arrest or ice presence
