WALK!
DO NOT RUN!
People running can trip, causing pile ups. Your instinct will be to run when gas is in the air, but please remember these words.
DO. NOT. RUN.

If you are injured, find a medic - they will have a big red + on them. Yell the word, 'MEDIC' and one will find you. We are a community - we are here to help. Operation inflation will be able to direct you to a medic or the safe house for decontamination, should you need it.
Stay alert: look around you. Keep track of exit and escape routes. Keep an eye on police movements and crowd dynamics.
In the case of gas, pepper balls, or any kind of panic inducing event - walk, don't run. Move calmly If there is gas, close your mouth and shut your eyes. Walk through the gas, not away, and move towards higher ground - you'll get to fresh air quicker. Use your sign to fan the gas away from you. If there are pepper balls or gas canisters, pour some h20 on it.

Protests can be intense and traumatic. If you feel despair, defeated, or dissociated—pause and ground yourself. Emotional care matters too: talk with trusted friends, decompress, and avoid replaying footage if it feels re-traumatizing. Rest and reconnect—sustaining yourself sustains the movement. Rest, hydrate, - gentle supports like dandelion or milk thistle helps.
