This guide is by no means exhaustive, but a primer for those who are new to protesting as well as a helpful reference sheet for those who have been on the ground before or since the murder of George Floyd.
Please share this guide where you live to help build and strengthen your local protest community. The more people know about their rights, the more likely they will be to attend a protest. The more communities there are protesting and getting involved, the more able we are to affect change.
