Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, associate professor of Chicana, Chicano and Central American Studies at UCLA, said invoking flags to demonize protesters is a “well-documented move on the part of the Trump administration, knowing that every single demonstration of this type brings out the Mexican flag.”

If any of you are attending a protest this weekend here are some things you should be aware of/safety tips -
• Saline works better than water/milk for tear gas
• You should be hydrating the day before and during the march
• Bring goggles (with no ventilation) and a face mask
• IF YOU ARE IN TEXAS - remember that we are in a red state and there are a lot of people who carry and support ICE, so be mindful of your surroundings and keep it peaceful !
— also be aware that our governor is an asshat who wants us to act out and get arrested to prove a point
• If you are undocumented, it may be best to stay home
• Carry American flags as well as Mexican/Palestinian
• Do not park too close to the site
• Leave your phone at home if at all possible - write emergency contacts on your arm
• Bring something to cover up tattoos/identifiable marks
• Bring a buddy and discuss a quick exit plan if necessary; also discuss a meet up spot if you get separated
• WATCH YOUR DISTANCE - as you’ve probably seen already, law enforcement is shooting people with rubber bullets at extremely close range. The closer you are to them, the more likely they are to target you.
If you would like to attend a protest, I have added a link to the No Kings website where you can find one closest to your city. (There are an insane amount all over the US and other countries at this point)
Please stay safe and cool out there <3

how i ended up there is a sort of long story… but anyway i recommend visiting to show support, maybe do some flag waving and chat with the kind people there :) it’s a little surreal but very inspiring seeing people abroad working to hold the US accountable just as us Americans are doing so ourselves back in the states. they have upcoming events and apparently there will be a protest there near the US election day (Nov 2nd). i have linked their instagram where they have all that information! 🇵🇸🕊️🍉❤️

There are Marines deployed against Americans in Los Angeles
It is now or never
If you don't go, who will?
Check the link and find a peaceful protest near you, please
Going to your first protest won't be nearly as scary as living under a dictator, I promise
