    For your first one, just follow the crowd with chants and try to network with people to find like-mindedness. If you strike of a convo and find people with similar politics, you’ve made a connection.

    The usual rules are:

    • leave your phone at home if you can. If not, turn off biometrics.
    • cover your face
    • stay hydrated
    • keep an eye out for plainclothes cops and don’t engage. They generally look like bored dads.
    • NEW: protect other comrades if you can. Our(US) 50501 shitlibs are targeting anarchists and communists at their brunch protests.

      Shoes can sometimes be a giveaway. They wearing sneakers? Less a chance of being a cop. They wearing the same shoes/boots as the cops milling around are? More likely to be a cop.
