-Wear a medical alert bracelet if you have health problems.

-Never protest alone. Bring a friend for protection.

-Do not throw things or destroy property.

-Research the issues before you join protests.

-Avoid protesting if you have immigration or legal problems.

-If you are injured, be sure to document your injuries if you wish to file a report.
