How to Protest Without Getting Snatched

Because We’re Mad, Not Stupid

Look, the streets are calling—but so are the surveillance drones, undercover feds, and facial recognition cameras. You want to scream, march, and make beautiful rebellious noise—but you also want to make it home without a concussion or court date.

Let’s talk protesting smart—because this ain’t your grandma’s peace march, it’s resistance in a surveillance state.

😼 Before You Leave the Litter Box:

Tell a buddy where you’re going. Think “Rebellion Babysitter.”
Wear nondescript, solid dark clothes—no logos, no unique shoes, no glitter (I KNOW, I’m sorry).
Bring only what you need: ID if absolutely necessary, cash (no cards!), water, snacks, and a Sharpie with your emergency contact/legal aid number on your arm.

🧼 What NOT to Bring (Unless You Love Evidence):

No phones unless they’re burner phones or have location + biometrics OFF and airplane mode ON.
No prescription meds without the bottle.
No weapons or anything that could be spun that way (looking at you, bike lock).

🕶️ Fashion That Resists Facial Recognition:

Mask up. For anonymity AND plague reasons.
Sunglasses or shaded goggles. Because fashy cams don’t deserve your gaze.
Hat + hoodie combo = elite level facebreaker. Cover your hair and ears too.
Bonus: No political t-shirts! Be a ghost, not a billboard.

💥 When the Pigs Get Pushy:

Don’t run unless everyone runs. Stay calm, stay together.
Link arms. They can’t pick you off as easily.
Film police behavior, not other protestors. Surveillance is their job, not yours.
Tear gas? Water or baking soda rinse—not milk! (That’s for pepper spray.)
Zip ties incoming? Tuck your arms in tight, don’t resist—save your energy for court.

📌 Call to Action:

Memorize a legal aid hotline in your area (like the NLG).
Prep your protest go-bag with the essentials: mask, water, Sharpie, phone off.
Buddy up with someone and plan a protest check-in system.
