SMASH RACISM & FASCISM

This Sunday from 11:30AM at the State Library, join a coalition of anti-racists and anti-fascists countering a reactionary and fascist ‘put australia first’ rally.
SMASH RACISM & FASCISM This Sunday from 11:30AM at the State Library, join a coalition of anti-racists and anti-fascists countering a reactionary and fascist ‘put australia first’ rally. We note that this is a three-way fight, against the liberal state too. As well as intensifying the racist system that locks up young Black people and leaves them in poverty, the racist ALP-led colonial police state from this Sunday has given racist cops extra powers in the CBD for 6 months. At the federal level the ALP has enabled intensified mass deportations of criminalised migrants / refugees to Nauru and continues to raid Asian migrant sex workers’ workplaces. Bring a buddy, have masks, consider if you need phone / have strong passcode, wear long sleeve clothing / wet weather gear. Stick together, we keep us safe! Who’s behind the far-right rally this time? CHRISTIAN ZIONISM IS REACTIONARY & FASCIST ‘Put australia first’ is a christian zionist affair. It involves far-right networks that organised around denying the ongoing mass disabling covid-19 pandemic. Masking is collective solidarity against the spread of disease. While they fumble to distance themselves from nazis they platform and play ‘moderate’, they are all part of the same reactionary & fascist ecosystem that enables their growth. They platform genocidal fascist Zionism, which is supported by the ALP, Liberals and broader ruling class. Free Palestine! Fascist Tommy Robinson is speaking via video, founder of the ‘English defence league’ and a Zionist asset who does international fascist propaganda for the entity. They are for multiracial white supremacy, which forces everyone to assimilate into this violent colonial capitalist system of ‘australia’. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land! Far-right grifter, Monica Smit, ‘put australia first’ leader. Above: Far-right christian zionist Nick Patterson, melbourne organiser of ‘put australia first’ and leader of ‘australian peacemakers’. He was the first speaker on a lineup that included nazis at the Polish Club in June 2024. Left: UK zionist fascist leader Tommy Robinson RACIST, SEXIST, ANTI-TRANS & ANTI-QUEER ‘Put australia first’s’ speakers are a dangerous micro far-right politician grift affair. They have two speakers from One Nation, which has long engaged in racist and Islamophobic attacks on First Nations people and People of Colour. ‘Lions of Zion’s’ (LoZ) president is speaking. LoZ are a Zionist fascist group who are organising an event next month that celebrates the genocidal Zionist entity’s illegal pager massacre on Lebanon that killed 42 people and injured over 4,000. Many of their speakers are organising against the existence of trans and queer people, including ‘Family First’ that works for the patriarchal nuclear family. They work with the ‘australian christian lobby’ to wind back already limited support for trans people and attack reproductive rights, including for abortion. One One Nation speaker proudly enlisted in the hyper-violent and imperialist australian occupation (‘defence’) force. In constrast, we stand against misogyny, racism, ableism, transphobia, the colonial state, capitalist machine and genocidal border imperialism. Their list of far-right speakers

Vic Pol, KKK, IOF
They’re all the same!
Vic Pol, KKK, IOF They’re all the same! Today we saw fascist, hyper-violent vic police uphold the far-right by brutalising many of us, while facilitating the nazi white supremacist rally at parliament they treated with kid gloves. We stand in full solidarity with many of us injured, hospitalised and arrested by the racist violent gang that is Vic Police. Cops targeting us—with pepper spray, battens, pepper ball guns, stinger grenades and rubber bullets—is no accident. Cops here have their origins in anti-Aboriginal death squads that repressed First Nations resistance. Cops continue to murder First Nations people with impunity. Cops are paid fash who enforce the capitalist colony. Let’s not forget, racist ALP governments are responsibile for imperialist genocidal war to the record expansion of cops and prisons on the back of reactionary white public panic over ‘crime’. Police attacks started early when they brazenly tried to infiltrate the crowd to arrest people. People resisted the police assaults, including with de-arrests and defensive counter tactics that at times slowed cops. We’ll need to be prepared for more of that, with more people in future. Racist flags were captured and a cop effigy burnt. We’ll need the energy we had today next time! Love and rage—take care. [At bottom two banners: End settler terror, end genocide, smash colonialism; and cops = paid fascists]

why diversity of tactics?

We are stronger together with a diversity of tactics, including effective militant action against fascists / cops. We need to cut the momentum behind the white supremacist ecosystem. Counter-protests have to be confrontational ...
why diversity of tactics? We are stronger together with a diversity of tactics, including effective militant action against fascists / cops. We need to cut the momentum behind the white supremacist ecosystem. Counter-protests have to be confrontational to make our racist opponents fear us to demobilise them. To condemn and sabotage people taking risks on our side makes us weaker and helps the fascists / state. Cops that violently uphold colonial capitalist ‘australia’ can easily control us if we are not agile in resisting their tactical moves together. The similar rise of racist anti-immigrant Pauline Hanson’s One Nation was beaten back by militant anti-fascism in the 90s. A counter in Dandenong in 1997 was met with Asian youth emptying stores of eggs and tomatoes to throw at fascists, who were also physically confronted with counter-violence. In a similar vein in the times of racist anti-Islam ‘reclaim australia’, a counter in Coburg in 2016 saw antifascists including young Arab men confront the fascists physically, who then could not march on Sydney Rd. Our failures on August 31st were not due to some people using militant tactics. They were because of we did not have enough numbers, stay in the streets long enough, liberal illusions in the kkkops, and we didn’t communicate well enough across groups. We need to encourage and support each other resisting cops / fash! Love and rage against ‘australia’!

Who’s leading the fash march?

Nazi Matt Trihey, of the national small business workers alliance (NWA) is leading the march this time. Trihey is a boss is in the building industry who exploits workers.
The NWA are a nazi group that hide their nazi politics because of optics...

This Sunday, from 11AM at the state library in Naarm, a coalition of anti-racists and anti-fascists are countering the second white supremacist ‘march for australia’ (theirs begins at parliament at 12pm).

On sept 13th counter, STATE & far-right

The state is expanding the violence of prisons, policing, borders and imperialism. Far-right networks are emboldened. The next nazi co-organised white supremacist rally to counter is on the 19th October.
On sept 13th counter, STATE & far-right Two far-right rallies starting at ‘vic’ parliament drew over a thousand people. The Wurundjeri led Sovereignty Never Ceded rally at flinders, and anti-fascist, anti-racist counter coalition, drew in the thousands, out-numbering them. The state deployed over 600 cops. The state is expanding the violence of prisons, policing, borders and imperialism. Far-right networks are emboldened. The next nazi co-organised white supremacist rally to counter is on the 19th October. Note: Helicopter pic is after one far-right faction had left to separately march through CBD The two racist rallies on the 13th were initiated via a split from the nazi co-organised 31st white supremacist march for ‘australia’. The larger Craig Cole and Darren Bergwerf led far-right faction was more compliant with police and stayed at parliament. Speakers expressed an australian nationalism nostalgic for the 'constitution', a document founded on ongoing colonial genocide of First Nations people and 'white australia'. They spoke to countless racist and eugenic conspiracy theories that deny the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. They incited the crowd to organise against small gains for young trans and queer people and against sex education. Disturbingly, two trans people who happened to be in the area, were assaulted by the crowd. Their far-right politics champions a christo reactionary-fascist state. One speaker, ex-politician Bernie Finn is an example: a lead organiser against abortion. They are pro capitalist government, but for one that is far-right: where rights for those of us who are women, trans, queer, disabled and people of colour are wound back. The counter rally arrived towards the end of their speeches, causing some minor disruption.

We need to counter the far-right rallies to cut their momentum
Their networks recruit people away from internationalist class solidarity to supremacy, scapegoating oppressed communities
It is the capitalist ruling class that hoard wealth in this fucked system....
We need to counter the far-right rallies to cut their momentum Their networks recruit people away from internationalist class solidarity to supremacy, scapegoating oppressed communities It is the capitalist ruling class that hoard wealth in this fucked system and are responsible for mass poverty and violence They push back against First Nations sovereignty, and push for white nationalism They want more violence against marginalised People of Colour refugees and migrants They push eugenic denial of the ongoing covid-19 pandemic They react against powerful anti-genocide anti-imperialist Palestine liberation struggle They organise against the existence of trans and queer people, and against reproductive rights Instead, let’s build solidarity from below

Tomorrow, a coalition of anti-racists & anti-fascists are countering a reactionary and fascist rally at parliament, after a Wurundjeri led First Nations Sovereignty Never Ceded rally at Flinders St at 11AM.
Who’s behind the far-right rally?
Tomorrow, a coalition of anti-racists & anti-fascists are countering a reactionary and fascist rally at parliament, after a Wurundjeri led First Nations Sovereignty Never Ceded rally at Flinders St at 11AM. Who’s behind the far-right rally? Due to in-fighting, it’s actually two far-right rallies, at the same place and time, vying for control! The rallies are part of the same racist reactionary and fascist ecosystem that white supremacist ‘march for australia lives in but initiated by other factions. They sometimes split over minor political differences and optics, but all shift the overton window in a racist direction. These networks grew over reactionary and fascist eugenic denial of the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, which has killed over 7 million people and disabled tens of millions more. They draw energy from global far-right racism demonising migrants and refugees and calling for more state border violence. So-called ‘australia’ already has some of the most hyper-violent racist borders in the world. Disgracefully, around the nazi co-organised 31st rally, the ALP announced and passed mass deportation of people criminalised and without aus citizenship to Nauru. One rally is organised by Harrison McLean, who spoke at the nazi co-organised white supremacist march for ‘australia’ on the 31st last month at vic parliament. His so-called ‘freedom rally’ chats are riddled with nazi propaganda and active recruitment. He has previously been closely associated with far-right Proud Boy politics. During covid lockdown chats, he maintained “Hitler had some good points”. He actively pushes racist conspiracy theories to radicalise people further to the far-right. Speakers at his rally are different far-right figures. Nick Patterson is speaking, who is part of christo-fash Zionist networks. Patterson spoke at the nazi National Workers Alliance meeting in June 2024. The second far-right rally is organised by fascist Craig Cole and far-right ‘sov citizen’ Darren Bergwerf. Craig Cole is well known for his dangerous anti-trans and anti-queer organising, particularly targeting trans young people. After going to a transphobe rally this year that we countered, he attended the nazi National Workers Alliance’s meeting on the same day. Darren Bergwerf is an organiser of far-right ‘sovereign citizen’ ‘my place’ networks. Their idea of ‘sovereignty’ is white individualism, not collective First Nations sovereignty. Their rally has ex-politician Bernie Finn listed as speaker, who organises dangerous backwards anti-abortion marches every year.

Anti-fascist organising statement: Last Sunday in Melbourne, the far-right and neo-Nazis mobilised thousands in marches that attacks migrants, the Palestine movement, antifascists and people in Kuffiyehs. The ended in a disgraceful attack on Camp Sovereignty, leaving people badly injured and parts of the protest camp trashed. We are initiating a broad antifascist and anti-racist united front to ensure the events of last Sunday are not repeated. We are united by a shared understanding that the working class have a common interest in opposing fascism in all its forms. We call for maximum unity and collaboration to give First Nations peoples, the left, unions, migrant communities and all anti-racists the best chance at stopping the far right threat before it grows out of control. We also call for no collaboration with the police. The police uphold the far-right and the white supremacist foundations of so-called “Australia”. The best way to defend possible victims of the fascists is to drive them off the streets through mass, militant, working class action. We will start by opposing their planned action at Parliament on September 13. We will march to meet the far-right rally at Parliament, and if our forces are strong enough, prevent them from marching.

"Cops and the Klan go hand in hand!" On so-called 'march for australia' and the counter-protests
"Cops and the Klan go hand in hand!" Yesterday showed the racist reality of ‘australia’. White supremacist cops facilitated a white nationalist nazi rally. Meanwhile, cops from the start repressed anti-racist, pro-Indigenous, pro-Palestine counter-protests. We stand both in solidarity with everyone attacked by the cops / fascists yesterday and everyone who resisted them. In particular, we stand in solidarity with defenders of Camp Sovereignty, which coward nazis attacked, targeting women. We need to prioritise defence of Camp Sovereignty in the weeks and months ahead. Yesterday, for those that needed it, is a big wake up call. Fascism is already here for many, with cops and prisons murdering Black people with impunity and torturing / killing refugees. Street fascists want to intensify state oppression, and recruit more people into deputising themselves as cops / white vigilantes. It was cops that attempted to incapacitate the early counter protest by closing off Fed square splitting our ability to gather. It was cops that focused on unmasking, stopping and searching our side. It was cops that violently pushed us down streets when we gathered. It was cops at the same time who guarded nazis into the white nationalist rally after resistance by anti-fascists. It was cops that rode their horses dangerously into our side. It was cops that fired pepperball guns, stun grenades and rubber bullets at us. It was cops that wore many of us out all day and forced some of us over a bridge to disperse under duress. On the streets, we saw the racism of Victoria Police that many of us know too well, and those seeing it openly for the first time. It's no surprise. Victoria Police formed here through colonial anti-Aboriginal death squads. Cops protect nazis and uphold the far-right. Cops share with the nazis supremacist capitalist colonial ideology that defines this place. We also saw many moments of staunch resistance. We saw collective defiance of designated area extreme police powers. We saw strangers resisting cops / nazis together. We saw blue and red become fire and ash. We saw de-arrests. We saw eggs hit fash. We saw nazis punched. We saw some nazis forced to scamper away. We saw flower pots become mini barricades. We saw medics and people around stepping up for casulties from fucked police violence. Instead of liberal illusions, we need to generalise radical anti-fascism that’s anti-imperialist, anti-colonial and anti-capitalist. This means building skills and networks in community self-defence and community care. Because only we keep us safe. This means respect for diversity of tactics rather than peace policing. Because too often yesterday we had people holding back people taking bold action against cops / nazis. We also need to be more prepared for more of us to stay in the streets for hours. The combination of people at protests on our side added up to thousands of us, maybe a thousand or so less than the fascist side, but the fascists stayed in the streets for longer than many of us. As many of us left the streets they became more emboldened. So we will need both more of us and to be more street prepared next time.

NO MERCY FOR FASCISM Counter Rally next Sunday August 31st 11am Flinders Street (so-called "melbourne" CBD) The far-right anti-immigration “March For Australia” has been co-organised by Neo-Nazi group the National Socialist Network (NSN) and Matt Trihey, who runs the fascist group National Workers Alliance (NWA) as well as American immigrant and real estate nepo-baby Hugo Lennon (AKA Klesum / Auspil). Fascists are emboldened by the white supremacist foundations of this capitalist colony. We stand in solidarity with First Nations resistance against the genocidal settler colonial state of "australia". State fascism is already here for many, through cops / prisons murdering Black people to mandatory refugee detention and migrant deportations. The ruling class will deploy every tool available to them in order to keep us divided so they can continue to exploit us. Parasites like Hugo and Matt love to point the finger at immigrants because they know how much power we have once we get together and start making demands. Thats what they fear, and thats what we’re doing Sunday 31st – join us at Flinders Street at 11am in solidarity with immigrants to counter the 12PM “March For Australia” and demand:

TERF: “numbers are depressingly low”
TERF: “numbers are depressingly low” Further speakers at the rally fantisised about dangerous fascist attacks on trans people, spouting their supremacist hatred. One speaker spoke out against any transition surgery for trans people. Another speaker outrageously implied trans women are all pedophiles. One more speaker spoke against gender self determination for trans young people. In the lead-up nazis toyed online with attending. While police violently repressed a group of us that resisted their efforts to attack us off the streets and unmask covid and antifascist safety measures, another group was able to remain and make noise, heard subtly in the video. A ‘trans exclusionary radical/reactionary feminist’ saying numbers are depressingly low More reflections and learnings on the counter another time, but some banners for now.

FAR-RIGHT bigotry SPEAKS! Anti-woman, anti-trans & racist
FAR-RIGHT bigotry SPEAKS! ANTI-woman, anti-trans & Racist Yesterday’s small ‘women will speak’ rally, facilitated by 300+ violent state cops, was a far-right affair. Organiser Jasmine Sussex was interviewed by fascist Avi Yemini. Avi has been convicted for violence against his former wife. As well as Avi’s presence there was a speaker from a far-right Zionist organisation. Zionism is fascism. They cheerlead genocidal imperialist violence against Palestinian people. Sussex also walked in with far-right Family First party members. Family First field politicians that organise anti-abortion marches and for homophobic christian nationalism. These fascist patriarchal rallies encourage everyone to punch down on trans women, undermining basic rights for women and all marginalised genders.

FUCK THE POLICE!

FUCK THE FASH!
FUCK THE POLICE! Cops continue their long oppressive tradition of attacks on queer and trans people today. We stand in full solidarity with those on our side targeted and arrested by violent thug cops. By contrast, last weekend cops escorted nazis through the CBD, while only a homeless man resisted them. “All cops are nazis!” Cops are state agents upholding the far-right. It’s no accident nazis are on the side of transphobes. This entire capitalist settler colony of ongoing genocide against First Nations people is to quote Bunjileenee, “a nazi’s wet dream.” Despite some staunch resistance, some of us feel humbled today. But because of the counter, the anti-trans TERFash were kept lower in numbers. There are things to learn & reflections from today, in the face of extraordinary violent police powers and harassment. Take care and fight another day. “Trans liberation, not assimilation!” FUCK THE FASH!

FAR-RIGHT TRANSPHOBE GROUP AND THEIR POLICE PROTECTORS TO BE DISRUPTED BY TRANS LIBERATION PROTESTORS!
FAR-RIGHT TRANSPHOBE GROUP AND THEIR POLICE PROTECTORS TO BE DISRUPTED BY TRANS LIBERATION PROTESTORS! A far-right transphobe group are gathering on parliament steps to propagate anti-woman, genocidal rhetoric. The group of bigots is formed from the same racist, ableist, fascist and anti-trans networks that have held these transphobic rallies in Naarm since March 18th 2023, when they stood with nazis and were protected by police who bashed trans liberation anti-fascists. This network of bigot are attempting to organise against trans people's existence and belonging, particularly trans women. The ultimate goal of the ‘gender critical’ movement is to criminalise trans life and ultimately to eradicate us. Even the Lemkin Institute for genocide prevention recognises this. “Genocidal ideologies are ideologies that deny or seek to erase the existence of a specific group because of the supposed threat it poses to the holders of the ideology. The gender critical movement simultaneously denies that transgender identity is real and seeks to eradicate it completely from society. Many gender critical ideologues identify themselves as feminists and believe themselves to be protecting women from men. They accuse transgender women of being stealth men and of transgender men of being self-hating women. The movement, a centerpiece of right wing ascendancy in the Western world, calls for discrimination against and harrassment of transgender individuals and the transgender community through laws and policies that criminalize trans identity and trans life. The Lemkin Institute is alarmed by the growing number of attempts in the Western world to enact policies and spread prejudice that threaten the well-being, and even the existence, of transgender people.” [https://www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-new-page/statement-on-the-genocidal-nature-of-the-gender-critical-movement’s-ideology-and-practice] Trans-exclusionary reactionary ‘feminists’ (‘TERFs’) oppress other women and collaborate with the colonial state. They agitate for trans women to face more extreme state violence. They pipeline people to the far-right. They do not have an entrenched right to ‘speak’ — there is no platform for transphobia. Cops are pinkwashing fascists who enforce oppression and murder First Nations people with impunity. We are taking our defence into our own hands; we don't need the police or colonial “anti- homophobia laws” to protect us. Police have violently discriminated against trans liberation protesters at every counter- protest, while upholding the platforms of far-right bigots. Cops violently targeted and bashed a trans woman of colour at the trans liberation counter-protest on April 26th 2025. We will never stop protecting ourselves from our enemies by attacking their platforms as well as the cops and state actors that stand in our way. “Peaceful protest” is a scam. There are only tactics that work, and tactics that don't. We counter TERFascism as part of our fight against the white supremacist colony of so-called “australia”. It is a racist disgrace to demand “inclusion” in a nation founded on ongoing genocide of First Nations people, complicit in the arming of so-called ‘israel’. The struggle for trans liberation is bound up with all struggles from below. Trans liberation cannot be achieved through trans assimilation, or representation of trans characters on TV. Trans liberation it will not be handed to us by the colonial state. The only way to achieve liberation is through anti-colonial action that centers land back and Indigenous sovereignty. Gender affirmation comes to those who resist this occupation. We are everywhere... We are undefeated!

Why we resist the pinkwashing state

Fight for
trans liberation!
Why we resist the pinkwashing state Cops murder Black people with impunity When nazis rocked up to the transphobe rally on March 18th 2023, police attacked trans anti-fascists and protected the transphobe coalition. Later the pinkwashing state flew trans flags. No justice, no peace, no nazi police! While we resisted cops. Cops targeted & bashed a trans woman of colour at the last counter The Allan ALP government hands out token crumbs to trans people. But the capitalist system still discriminates against us into high rates of poverty & suicide Meanwhile, the state has billions to expand violent colonial police and prisons: institutions that intensify racism and transphobia. Federally too, cops are targeting migrant sex workers. Fuck border imperialism! Fight for trans liberation! so-called ‘australia’ is a genocidal settler colony We stand in solidarity with the ongoing First Nations resistance for land back and liberation Transphobia is rooted in the colonial gender binary The state arms genocidal ‘israel’. Long live the resistance, Free Palestine! Trans liberation means an end to gender inequality & is intertwined with all struggles against oppression!

And why do we resist the pinkwashing colonial state too?

It’s part of reactionary growth in anti-trans gender fascist street movements, spurred on since racist transphobe Kelly Jay Keen toured here in 2023 It’s under the misleading name ‘womens voices australia’ In 2025, they tactically rebranded from the disgraced ‘women’s action group’ It’s led by Jasmine Sussex, infamous for being let go of a volunteer position at a breastfeeding association due to her transphobia What’s their dangerous far-right agenda? Build an unholy tenuous alliance of TERF/SWERF ideology (Trans Exclusionary / Sex Worker Exclusionary Reactionary ‘Feminism’) and other forms of transphobic reaction, racism and fascism They particularly target and deny trans women’s existence. They want a world where we are more excluded and punished than many of us at the margins are already They want basic life-saving gender affirming care to end They’re against minor gains we’ve won including birth certificate reforms Attacks on trans people have spillover effects, increasing misogyny, racism & fascism Whose supported their past rallies? In general, people emboldened by bigoted transphobia to open fascists Victoria Police have closely facilitated and enabled a platform for their transphobia At their April rally this year, Craig Cole attended and later on the same day went to the nazi national workers alliance meeting (NWA) The leader of the NWA, Matt Trihey, has spoken and provided sound at previous anti-trans rallies by these networks In 2023, infamously, a nazi contingent rocked up

Combating Liberalism In Trans Spaces Trans liberalism? accommodating those who can assimilate & uphold the system Counter-insurgency -redirecting / liberalising movements Trans/queer rights used to keep marginalised communities content Assimilation into colonial systems Dividing communities / distraction from overall systemic problems - prisons 'trans only' prisons [reforms that expand prison-industrial complex] Co-optation / erasure of grassroots struggles / gains Exists to prevent intersectionality Policing & defining identities Trans exclusionary 'progressive' reforms Used to create illusion of progress - pinkwashing - particularly as a colonial tool “[...]‘trans liberalism’—argues that transgender rights are the solution to the problems facing trans people, and will enable our participation in (Western) capitalist society; that, alongside rights, positive media representation is the best method to win over the cisgender world and improve the standing of trans subjects within the multicultural diversity of an apparently equal society. The basis of this ‘equality’ is fictitious: the neoliberal states, in which these demands are made, reproduce socio-economic divisions along intersecting lines of race and class, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, nationality and immigration status.” —The Limits of Trans Liberalism—By Nat Raha (2015) Sylvia Rivera on the pride movement in 2001 Trans liberation? Stakes of struggle? what to give up? Privileges gained for those of us who are white / settlers / colonisers Focus on framing too what will be gained from liberation from the system How to create alternative structures that provide access to our needs? We are choosing whether to continue to uphold the colony // not a ‘sacrifice’ to resist but aligned with values Radicalised by Needs not being met Creating / becoming a part of networks and communities For both connection / joy and material needs Radical forms of care, not leaving people isolated

⭐️ FIGHTING THE MYTHS ⭐️

A quick and simple guide answering and explaining peoples common questions and assumptions around protest

We are safer when we resist together and learn from each other

Be ungovernable and be safe.

2/2
PHONES "Why would it be dangerous for me to bring my phone to a protest?" Police have been known to locate and track people's phones to gather information about who is attending protests, especially if the protest has been labelled as 'disruptive' (effective). It's also extremely likely that they will take your phone off you and try to unlock it if you are brought into custody. Not bringing your phone eliminates that risk altogether. "How will I communicate with friends if something goes wrong?" Looking after each other is always our goal. Have agreements about how you look after each other on the ground. We recommend making plans with people you trust about where to meet and where to head if you're in trouble and sticking with people in buddy pairs if that helps you. At larger protests, there is often an arrest support number you can write down somewhere on your body so that you can be picked up and cared for if you're arrested. Alternatively, you can write down a trusted friend's number which you can then call from a payphone. "I want to show my solidarity on social media + hold cops accountable" You can show solidarity in a safer way by sharing tiles/posters and by talking about protest with your friends. Sharing footage on social media puts your fellow protestors at risk from online harassment, doxxing, and in some cases, police investigations. Footage from protestors has been used in court as evidence against us. Please respect people's consent by not posting videos of them in high-risk situations. PEPPER SPRAY Milk helps manage people's pain with pepper spray" Milk is absolutely useless when it comes to the effects of pepper spray. Any relief is extremely temporary and the spray begins to congeal with the milk and become slimy, like cheese. Saline is much better and, with help of disposable cloths and someone trained in decon, can help you feel better. "Once I've been decontaminated, I can go home and shower" Before you have a shower (with strong soap such as castille soap or dish soap) please remember that pepper spray is exceptionally good at sticking to things like hair/clothes. Before you go inside your house, take off your clothes. When hopping in the shower, make sure you wash your hair first - don't let the water drip down your body because if it picks up some spray, it will just spread the pain down your body. Use cold/lukewarm water, since hot water activates the spray.
