When the moment hits — when injustice demands a rapid response, not a polite petition — you won’t have time to pack. You need to be ready. You need claws out, boots laced, and an Emergency Direct Action Kit that says “try me” without saying a word.
🎯 The Mission: Be ready to move fast, act smart, and survive whatever the frontlines throw at you
🛠️ Today’s Battle Plan: What’s in the Kit
Protective Gear
- Mask (for identity protection and tear gas)
- Goggles or swim mask (for tear gas and pepper spray)
- Gloves (protect your hands if pushing barricades or handling flyers/posters)
- Bandana soaked in vinegar or water (cheap tear gas defense)
Communications
- Burner phone or old wiped phone, fully charged
- Backup charger or battery pack
- Emergency contact list written on paper — NOT stored digitally
First Aid
- Mini first aid kit: bandages, alcohol wipes, burn cream, saline rinse
- Water bottle (for drinking or rinsing eyes)
- Basic trauma supplies if possible: gauze pads, compression bandage
Legal Defense
- Sharpie to write a lawyer’s number on your arm
- Printed Know Your Rights card
- Copy of bail fund info for your city
Clothing and Survival
- Layers you can peel off or add
- Hat, hoodie, scarf for changing your appearance quickly
- Extra mask and shirt (because sometimes you have to ditch the “look” mid-action)
Tools for Action
- Flyers, posters, chalk for legal public messaging
- Zip ties, duct tape for fast repairs or protest builds
- Permanent marker for rapid messaging or marking supplies
- Flashlight or headlamp if actions run after dark
Food and Energy
- High-calorie snacks like granola bars, trail mix
- Electrolyte packets
- Caffeine gummies if you need to stay sharp without carrying a coffee
Mental Armor
- A small token or mantra to remind you why you’re fighting
- Resistance Kitty sticker on your water bottle (optional, but makes you 72% tougher)
🔥 Today’s To-Do List
- Build your Emergency Direct Action Kit this week
- Keep it in a small, discreet backpack ready to grab
- Know how to slim it down if you need to move faster or stay light
- Teach one new person how to build theirs too
💬 Final Scratch from Resistance Kitty
When they escalate, we don’t panic — we prepare.
When they deploy fear, we deploy resilience.
Pack your claws, your courage, and your conviction.
We don’t wait for the fight to come to us.
We bring it.
