as an american citizen, you have the right to assemble. the police and other governmental agencies violate this right through mass arrests, illegal use of force, criminalization of protest and other means that threaten our right to free expression.
DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE:
they are not your friends. they are not there to protect you, regardless of your race. their presence there is to protect the interests of the state.
what to do if you are detained or stopped by the police:
do not resist, even if you think they are violating your rights.
calmly ask someone to record.
ask if you’re free to leave. if you are, walk away.
how to stay safe during a protest:
write phone/legal aid numbers on your body. bring a sharpie for others to do this.
ALWAYS use the buddy system. don’t be selfish & stick to your own friend group. if you see someone alone, invite them into your circle.
don’t know where to seek legal aid?
before attending/during a protest, visit http://nlg.org/chapters/#massdefense.
NLG chapters are organized into regions. find. your region and write their number on your body.
encourage others around you to write that same number on their body.
4. if you are threatened with or under arrest:
you have the right to know why you’re being arrested. calmly ask. if they refuse to provide a reason, stay quiet and ask for legal representation immediately.
do not give any information or sign anything without a lawyer present.
what to do with your phone during a protest:
put your phone on airplane mode
disable face ID/touch, replace with 6-digit passcode instead
spreading awareness is great but avoid posting photos of people that include identifying features.
police want everyone to leave the area, what should that look like:
shutting down a protect through a dispersal order must be the last resort for police.
a clear danger must be present.
police must give adequate time for protesters to disperse and an exit route.
what are your rights if you’re being stopped or detained by police:
you do not have to consent to you or your belongings being searched. if you consent, anything can be used against you in court.
police can conduct a “pat down” if they suspect you have a weapon.
if you see someone being detained, what should you do:
record the interaction. police can not demand to view or delete any footage without a warrant.
use calming affirmations towards the person being detained. they are likely scared. be there for them.
use whatever privilege you have to protect others.
if you see a disabled person struggling, offer to help. find medics to assist people experiencing anxiety or having a panic attack. if you see a BIPOC being harassed, surround them.
personal note on using your privilege: i have seen white people, countless times, place themselves in front of BIPOC when police draw weapons/approach protests. it often works.
do not be a person that just acknowledges their privilege, use it for good.
10. remember that we protect us. ignite this chant as a reminder to everyone present if you have to. communities are supposed to help one another. don’t be a sell out, offer support, share resources, food and water. be a kind soul.
if you can not participate in a protest for whatever reason, you can still help! drop-off supplies! (water bottles, allergy-friendly foods/snacks with ingredients labels on them, sharpies, cards with legal aid numbers on them, masks, makeup remover wipes, hand sanitizer, etc)
sources/disclaimer: main source:
@ACLU and my own opinions. this is not legal advice. consult legal representation if you are in need of assistance.
stay safe, be on the right side of history. black lives matter, no one is illegal, we protect us, land back, all oppression is connected and free palestine. 🇵🇸
Dear friends,👋❤️
I am Ahmad, and I live in Gaza, where the situation is becoming more difficult day by day. The ongoing devastating war has left my family and me in dire need of support. 🙏I am a father of four children, and their safety is my top priority. Can you help us by providing our basic needs for food, water, and shelter? 🥫💧🏠 Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives and give my children hope for a better tomorrow. ❤️If you are willing to help, please contact me.Thank you for your kindness and support during these challenging times. Together, we can make a difference. 🙌
EVERYONE DONATE. THEY'RE ONLY AT 4% OF THEIR GOAL.
Are you just tired of these kinds of posts coming from G@za strip that ask you not to skip and to read the whole post, interact with it, and help in sharing/ reblogging it? Well, maybe you are right, but guess what? We are also tired of living in this reality for a whole 11 months.💔
And you know what? You have no idea how mentally and emotionally trying this is. Asking for help isn't easy at all, but when I think that the price will be staying alive, getting our basic needs and rebuilding our lives, it pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal.
This is Ola, the older sister who is trying to help her family. For 11 months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking and now we're out of them all. We are trying to survive under starvation, thirst, and poverty. So please, if you can give help to our campaign, don't hesitate.
Every simple thing makes a difference in changing the situation we are in. You can help us either by giving direct help to our campaign or simply by reblogging this post. We would be very thankful if you could share our campaign with families and friends. It really helps reach the people who can directly assist us in reaching our goal faster.
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost , @northgazaupdates , @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's vetted list, line 205.
Thank you very much for standing by us ❤.

Luke as a concept is so funny to me. Yeah this kid who views me as a responsible older sibling is over 900 years older than me and could easily erase me from existence. I call him a chihuahua to intentionally piss him off.
The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people But when we go to our homes, we will not find these homes destroyed.
“My name is Eslam from Gaza, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a children teacher from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. a mother of two daughters, Hanaa 5 years old, and Alma, 10 months old. My husband Rasmi is the director of 3 language and training centers. In this war, our house was completely destroyed and razed to the ground, and my husband’s centers were blown up. He lost his job, and we were completely displaced, and we are now homeless and jobless, My two young daughters constantly suffer from diseases due to malnutrition and water pollution.
Danger and death surround us all day and all night. We have lost everything and depend on donations to survive and, most of all, to have any hope of escaping this genocide and evacuating to safety in Egypt. The cost of daily living continues to rise significantly in Gaza - imagine that we cannot find the type of milk for our daughter because of its high price. There is no kind of detergent and this is the cause of skin diseases for my two little girls. We bought a piece of soap for $30! ، and detergent is 100$"

Yeessssss,You are a mind reader.I also believe it changes over a couple of weeks,
Cater enjoys Deuce's obliviousness and helpfulness.
Riddle likes Ace's cleverness,along with standing his ground.
Trey gets a load off when Yuu is around keeping Adeuce out of trouble with having a helpful hand.
The first year trio also has favorites,for Deuce it's Riddle,Ace it's Carter and Yuu it's Trey.
Okay so I've always thought it was really clear in the heartslyabul dorm who each 2nd and 3rd years favorite freshman was. I might be going crazy, but this is how it measures up to me.
Treys favorite is Ace, no doubt about it. He loves Ace's sly and mischievous nature, and while Trey does joke around and play pranks sometimes, he has a lot of responsibility too. He can't always wind down and relax like Ace can. He likes Ace simply because Ace can help him chill out, by making jokes or whatever he and the squad did this time. He wishes he could get in the kind of trouble Ace and the others get into and be so nonchalant about it, but he can't.
Riddles favorite is Deuce. He likes Deuces strict moral code, and how he always tries his best. The fact that he is a little dumb makes Riddle appreciate the effort he does put in. (No offense to deuce ILY man) Riddle likes Deuce the most because Deuce respects him, and shows that he's sorry when he gets in trouble. Riddle does wish that he could throw punches like Deuce can though. He wishes he could get into fights like that for the sake of his friends, but he has an image to uphold, and without magic, probably wouldn't win. He likes Deuce because he's so loyal, and clearly cares for his friends, something Riddle struggles with showing.
Caters favorite is Yuu. Yes he's aware Yuu is not Heartslaybul, but does he care? Nope. Yuu always cheers everyone up, and fights for what they believe in. Cater envies how Yuu can easily charm everyone without having to change. Cater loves spending time with the chaotic prefect, and respects them for all that they go through.
Anyone else think this or is it just me?
Hello, sorry for having to ask but I feel the loss of my energy and my ability to help my family, and this has affected my health, my father is a heart patient who had a heart catheterization operation due to blocked arteries before the war, and he got food poisoning because my family can't provide one meal a day. our children face the winter cold, without thick clothes and blankets to protect their little bodies from the cold.
Please your help will give us hope that humanity has not yet been lost. Any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated, and if you can't, please share our story . Thank you <3 🙏🌺🕊️🌸Alsaidi family ❣️Vetted ✅✅✅
You got it
Posted if anyone can help
My name is Lubna Alajrami, and I am a devoted mother from Gaza. At 30 years old, I cherish my three beautiful children: Eline, aged 7, Kinda, 2, and my precious son, Nasser, who is 4 years old.🤗
Amidst this dire situation,My heart aches for my son Nasser, who is 4 years old, and suffers from a thyroid problem that has caused him delayed growth and mental retardation. We lack the means to provide him with medical treatment and the most basic necessities, such as diapers and milk. Urgent medical care is imperative, but our current circumstances are beyond our reach. I cannot provide treatment nor buy Pampers, which are now priced at $70.💔💔
My family, including my husband, three kids, and I once led a content and joyous life in the North of Gaza. However, the onset of war-shattered our dreams, our home, and our means of sustenance. Today, we find ourselves with nothing but the fragments of what was once our life.😭😭💔💔💔
My husband, Rami, works as a home electrician. He moved away from us for 3 years so that he could raise the money necessary to build a beautiful house for our family and to open a shop that would be a source of livelihood for our family. But the war destroyed our house and our shop, it destroyed everything beautiful. We became without a home or a source of livelihood.💔💔😭😭
Allow me to share with you the stark reality we face. With the outbreak of conflict, we sought refuge in the south, settling in Deer Albalah, clinging to the hope of safety until the storm of war abated. Yet, our reality is now a tent in a refugee camp devoid of basic amenities. Our living space is confined, lacking toilets, kitchens, and even access to clean water and electricity. For full year, we've endured the harshness of our circumstances, battling not only the physical challenges but also the pervasive illnesses that haunt the refugee camp. All these conditions directly affected my son Nasser's health for the worst. It breaks my heart to see my child suffering and needing medical aid while I have nothing I can do.😭😭💔💔💔
Hence, I ask you for your kindness and generosity to support our cause. This fundraising campaign aims to provide the necessary medical treatment and health care for Nasser, to secure milk and Pampers for my child, and to secure the life requirements of my family, because we are now without work and without a source of livelihood.💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
Donate whatever amount you can afford to support our cause.
Share our fundraiser with your network, spreading awareness of our plight.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate these trying times.
No matter how small, every contribution is a beacon of hope for us. Your kindness and compassion will serve as a lifeline, guiding us towards a brighter tomorrow.
With heartfelt gratitude🥰
