We applaud your passion, but we want you to be safe. Doxing has been on the rise, where counter-protestors identify and publicly shame pro-Palestine protestors. Wear a mask and stay anonymous to protect your safety.

You have the right to freedom of speech, but law enforcement may not respect those rights. Scroll down for details on your rights.

Sometimes protests don’t go as planned. Go to protests with a buddy, or find a buddy at the protest to be accountable for each other’s safety.

There will be counter-protestors. Don’t engage with them. They can get on your nerves, but there is no benefit in engaging with them. In fact, prevent people from engaging with them to prevent escalation in hate language, violence, and other risks.

Organizers usually have permits for a designated route. If you are attending an official march or protest, follow the crowd for your safety.

There is no place for anti-Semitism at pro-Palestine rallies. It only takes one anti-Semitic picket sign or one racist chant for the entire rally to be branded as racist. Confront and shut down anti-Semitic language or chants immediately.

It only takes one person inciting violence for police to shut down a protest. Do not let your protest turn violent.

For protests that may escalate, pepper spray is particularly harmful and can even lead to blindness for those wearing contact lenses.

Show solidarity by wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh or hoisting a Palestinian flag.

If you are white, please help protect BIPOC (and specifically Palestinian) protestors. They are most likely to be targeted and intimidated by counter protestors.
