Protest advice, Florida oppressive actions against protestors, death, vehicular homicide

Protest signs and sunscreen are just the beginning. Experts at Physicians for Human Rights suggest bringing the following:

• Backpack or string bag: You won't want anything bulky and you'll want your hands free.
• Face mask or bandanna, hat and sunglasses: Useful for helping to shield your eyes from pepper spray or tear gas, can also protect you from identification by law enforcement or online doxxing if that's a concern.
• Water: Stay hydrated. Bring as big a bottle as you can, with a squirt top in case you need to quickly wash off your skin or eyes.
• Glasses: Avoid wearing contact lenses, which can trap irritating chemicals. If you must wear contacts, wear shatter-resistant goggles with a tight seal. Avoid wearing makeup.
• Comfortable clothes, closed shoes:Pick neutral colors without obvious slogans or easily identifiable markings. Consider bringing a spare change of clothes in case what you're wearing gets sprayed.
• Identification, contact information: Make sure you can identify yourself (and your citizen status). Write your emergency contact info on your skin. If you have a lawyer, write that number, too.
• A few days of any vital medication:Ideally, they should be in a labeled prescription bottle.
• Cash: In case you need bail.
• Snacks: High energy, high protein munchies are preferred.
