![]() For our White allies who choose to go above and beyond and take the initiative to join in on protests in solidarity with Black Lives, as well as, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), we share these guidelines. These guidelines were not created by us but we share it as a resource when, as BIPOC people, we are asked by White folks, how can they participate while keeping BIPOC people safe (besides wearing a mask and trying to keep social distance even while protesting):
COPY & PASTE OR FEEL FREE TO SHARE If you are queer and/or otherwise, non-binary, whether you're White or not, see this additional guidance from the National Center for Transgender Equality: Participating in Direct Actions: A Guide for Transgender People The ACLU has been doing this work since the 1920's. They've put together a guide of your rights, as a protester, here: Rights of Protesters They also publish an app for your mobile phone to assist with #9 above. It is called MobileJusticeCA. Along with providing basic info about your right to record, if you configure the app settings, you can also have it lock your phone after you capture a recording in the app automatically. It can even be configured to send your location to others when you trigger the app. Again, we are not advocating for the app, just providing the fact that apps exist out there to help you be a better protester, ally and most importantly, keep everyone as safe as possible while agitating. iOS or Android There are also apps out there to secure your communications, as well. If you would like additional one-on-one guidance, feel free to reach out to the chapter at: via email: sgvapipflag@gmail.com Sung Tse PFLAG SGV Co-president: kingmidas4@gmail.com via our FB page – https://www.facebook.com/pg/sgvapipflag/community/?ref=page_internal For urgent support, visit pflag.org/hotlines for an up-to-date list of emergency hotline numbers, available nationwide.
