What to bring to a protest

Basic Supplies

Take into account your planned protest (e.g., police will likely not teargas a Ukraine or Science rally).

  • Facemask – for germies and to obscure identity. This type of mask will not save you from tear gas.

  • Sunglasses (also good for obscuring identity)

  • Sunscreen

  • Sunhat (also good for obscuring identity)

  • Portable stool (for those w/stamina concerns)

  • Water

  • Cellphone – turn off location tracking & facial recognition

  • Snacks

  • Whistles! Here is a good guide on whistle codes w/some additional info.

  • Camera or phone for recording. (See above for phone tips.) Please read this guide from Wired giving tips on how to safely film agents.

Climate Protest

More Advanced Supplies

This is really not necessary for most people.

If this looks like a lot, it means you probably shouldn't be at a protest that might indicate intense police presence.
