Use these tips to quickly prepare for a demonstration.
Plan ahead - research the event, the organization or group planning the event, and the location of the event. Consider how you will travel safely to and from the event and arrange back-up travel plans.
Use the buddy system and ask a friend to go with you to the event. Have a plan for where to meet if you get separated.
Fully charge your phone and bring a portable charger if possible. Ensure your devices are password-protected, and that your fingerprint or face recognition log-ins are disabled.
Bring water in a plastic disposable bottle with squirt top (to drink and wash out eyes if necessary); snacks; hand sanitizer; identification; emergency contact information; money for phone, food or transportation; necessary medication; and comfortable, protective shoes.
Stay hydrated and dress appropriately for the weather.
Tell an emergency contact about your plan – where you will be, who you are with, and what time you intend to be home.
Bring supplies to protect yourself from chemical irritants. Examples are milk of magnesia, water, and towelettes. Try to avoid wearing contact lenses or eye makeup.
Do not bring anything you wouldn’t want to get arrested with, like weapons, valuables, or illegal substances.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you sense people are carrying dangerous items, a nearby vehicle is moving in a dangerous manner, or someone is behaving in an unexpected manner, move to a safe location.
