\n\tHow to Prepare for a Protest<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you choose to attend a protest, please listen to and respect the organizers' guidelines; they are the experts. Bring signs with no sticks. Practice social distancing as much as possible once you are there (and use that hand sanitizer!) Please also do not take or post photos or videos of protesters' faces or other identifying traits, especially Black protesters; these could be used to identify protesters in the future. If you do want to take photos, use black boxes to remove identifying features and then take a screenshot of the photo. This screenshot will remove any metadata from the original photo (here's a helpful Twitter thread<\/a><\/u> about this).\n<\/p>\n
