What to bring to a protest (with 70+ protest posters)

If you are heading to a protest here's a few tips on what to bring plus a link to a collection of over 70 easy to print protest posters.

What to bring to a protest:

As a protester, there are a few things one can bring to an action to ensure safety and preparation. The following is a list of general items a protester should have on their person.

  • A sign or poster.
    • Poster board works well. For a more durable sign use plastic 'cardboard'.
    • Attach the sign to a thin wooden dowel if you'd like. Use tape as the police may make you remove the dowel.
    • Make the lettering large and easy to read from a distance.
    • Bring an extra sign if you can. It's always great to share.
  • Important Telephone Numbers (family, bail, lawyer)
  • Drinking Water (always helpful for the voice and the heat)
  • Money for phones, food, taxi, etc.
  • Pad and Paper to exchange contact information.
  • Map or familiarity of the area
  • Rain jacket or umbrella
  • Spare Clothes in sealed bag

Optional Items

  • Cell Phone
  • Snack food - nourishment (apples, candy bar)
  • Sun glasses
  • Camera

Mandatory Items

  • Friends, co-workers, relatives. Numbers make an impact.
