Put your phone in airplane mode or turn it off. If you see cops approaching, hold down the lock and volume buttons (as though you’re about to turn off your phone) to disable Face ID (they can’t demand your passcode). Don’t take photos of people close up without their consent

1000% go. Don't dress 'scary'. Wear red white and blue/USA apparel, a onesie, a silly costume, etc. Bring a bandana, wear some sort of sunglasses. Bring water. You don't gotta do much, just show up. It's nothing spooky, just a peaceful demonstration of true patriots defending our nation, our liberties, and our rights :)

Brother we’ve already seen what this administration is willing to do as far as servailence, selling out personal data, and seeking retribution against people for their speech. I’m a student going to grad school on a full scholarship at a public university in the south. It’s not cowardly to protect myself against realistic threats. If this were ten years ago I’d show my face no question

Like someone else said, be peaceful, thank cops if they’re helping out with blocking roads, all that. Also if you’re concerned with pepper spray being used milk is supposed to help with the burn but my dad told me that so take it with a grain of salt lol

Don’t wave a foreign flag pls 😭 some people are recommending silly costumes but idk about that for this protest, this one should be lowkey serious imo. Unless you plan on trolling law enforcement, in which case I recommend a silly costume

Yessir, true patriots rallying for preservation of the constitution, checks&balances/separation of central power, freedom, and power of the people rather than a regime and its corporate overlords

The silly costumes are for optics, bc the regime is trying very hard to paint all protestors as dangerous terrorists

Yeah, but I feel like that works better when you’re interacting directly with ICE. It feels a bit silly to me if you’re just walking down a road that’s blocked off
