Although we know our Government will not Harm any of our LITTLE ANGLES but just a precautinary note...
WHAT TO WEAR
Comfortable, protective shoes that you can run in clothing which covers most of your skin to protect from sun and water cannon exposure.
WHAT TO BRING
Water
Identification and/or emergency contact information
Just enough money for pay-phone, food, transportation
Watch, paper, camera, pen for accurate documentation of events, police brutality, injuries
DO NOT
Don’t wear contact lenses, which can trap irritating chemicals underneath
Don’t forget to sleep, eat, and drink lots of water. No matter how well rested and prepared we are and how tight our plan of action is with our affinity group, we can never really predict what will happen in an action, how the police will (over)react to our demonstration, no matter how peaceful we may.
PROTECTION AGAINST TEAR GAS AND WATER CANNON
How They Affect You:
Both tear gas and water cannon are skin irritants, causing burning pain and excess drainage from eyes, nose, mouth and breathing passages.
If you are exposed to either, you may experience:
Stinging, burning in your eyes, nose, mouth and skin
Excessive tearing, causing your vision to blur
Runny nose
Increased salivation
Coughing and difficulty breathing
Disorientation, confusion and sometimes panic
For the eyes and mouth:
Always irrigate from the inside corner of the eye towards the outside, with head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. It seems from our trials that it needs to get into the eye to help. This means that if the sprayed person says it’s okay you should try to open their eye for them. They most likely won’t be able/willing to open it themselves, and opening will cause a temporary increase in pain, but the solution does help. It works great as a mouth rinse too.
For the skin:
Spitting, blowing your nose, coughing up mucous (you don’t want to swallow these chemicals!), This shit is toxic, and will continually contaminate you and everyone around you until you get rid of it. Until then, try not to touch your eyes or your face, or other people.
Another important thing, please follow the traffic rules and DO NOT litter.
Remember, it is only temporary, and we are extremely STRONG......
