We stay safe by staying aware, staying mobile, and having each other's backs. That's how we outlast the chaos and protect the heart of the movement. In volatile moments, mobility is your power. Stay on your feet, keep you head up, and move as a unit. If things escalate, know your exits and help those around you who might need additional assistance. Link arms to hold ground when needed but never stay rooted in place if danger is moving. Sitting down might seem symbolic, but it makes you vulnerable.
Don't sit down in a protest. It is harder to get up quickly, especially for those with mobility issues. Tear gas sinks--people on the ground are at higher risk. Staying mobile helps peace marshals de-escalate. Consider alternatives: stand silently, link arms, walk slowly, document.

Never underestimate how important it is that organisers and parade marshals at your protest have to be prepared to deal with infiltrators. One bad chant can fuck up the optics of your whole event.
