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.
