ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest
everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.
1. donate
do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to âsupportâ black people, but no one knows where the money is.
BAIL FUNDS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST)
note: washington dc and new jersey have cashless bail systems.
bail fund google doc (also includes lawyers for protestors)
national bail fund network (directory of community bail funds)
community bail funds masterpost by @keplercryptids
resistance funds (google sheets; lists bail funds around the country)
nationwide bail funds (split a donation to the bail funds listed on the linked page with a single transaction)
atlanta bail fund
brooklyn bail fund
colorado freedom fund
columbus freedom fund
houston chapter of black lives matter
liberty fund (nyc based; focuses services on people from low-income communities)
los angeles freedom fund
louisville community fund
massachusetts bail fund
minnesota freedom fund (as of may 30, 2020, they are encouraging people to donate elsewhere since they have raised enough money; as of may 29, 2020, they do not have a venmo, as some fraudulent accounts have been claiming, source)
philadelphia bail out fund
richmond bail fund
MORE PLACES TO DONATE
note: more links are listed in the masterposts below.
northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)
reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)
twin cities dsa (provides fresh groceries and hot meals to people in minneapolis)
2. educate yourself
it isnât enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.
note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.
resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)
readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)
âwhere do we go after ferguson?â by michael eric dyson
official black lives matter website
3. give out supplies to protestors
people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if youâre able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the âgeorge floyd actionâ google docs link in section 5.
water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)
snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says âmay containâ and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)
masks (donât forget thereâs still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors, Â also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)
bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. antiâtear gas and antiâfacial recognition.)
clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)
wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)
a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. itâs not enough to have your cityâs bail fund number stored on your phone; the police wonât give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isnât easily removed.)
IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID
tear gas: if youâre hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer youâre in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if youâre hit, donât run; itâll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. donât use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); donât bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)
move them to a clean and ventilated area where itâs as safe as possible.
ask them if theyâre wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if theyâre wearing glasses, rinse it with water.
solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say itâs okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)
bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.
stop the bleed (youtube video by uc san diego health)
first aid in active shooting scenarios
making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)
how to apply pressure dressings
miscellaneous
adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati childrenâs; think of âstaying aliveâ by the beegees or âuptown funkâ)
4. be a source of information
be responsible with this. peopleâs lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur peopleâs faces.

tool for scrubbing metadata from images and selectively blurring identifiable features
tech tips to protect yourself while protesting (by rey.nbows on tiktok, via vicent_efl on twitter)
cop spotting 101 (google docs)
know your rights (by personachuu on twitter)
NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)
remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. donât fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesnât count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

george floyd action (google docs; includes information on apps to download, supplies to buy and donate, places to donate to, protest safety, resources on unlearning racial bias, and more)

VLIVE Fanship 191029
STAY, this is Chan
Iâm writing at this late hour since I worried about STAY who must be more shocked and have it harder than anyone. I always wanted to give strength to STAY but today I feel like I made it hard for STAY so my heart was heavy all day.
When we first became 9 I was really happyâŚIâm sorry that we couldnât protect the number 9 until the end. But it became a situation where we have to admit that we canât continue as 9 anymore, and weâre trying to accept that truth now.
Of course STAY worried a lot about us SKZ today.. We are okay, so we hope STAY are not hurt.
The road Stray Kids have to go from now on is not an easy challenge, Stray Kids have to gather courage once again as 8. Us Stray Kids will continue to go on and give STAY strength and comfort through our music and performances.
STAYâŚIâm always sorry and thankful. You Make Stray Kids STAY
(translation by me, I apologise if there are any mistakes)
#stay strong#all of you#weâre always family#weâll support each other until the end#we never leave anyone behind

Re-introducing Waterfall.social!
Six months ago, we launched our site. It was small, a few bugs here and there, but people liked it. Some of them stuck around, giving feedback and encouragement, and six months on, weâre proud to show it to you once more!
Developed solo over the course of six months, Waterfall is built from the ground up to provide a familiar, functional experience, focusing on creators and community, taking all the good bits from Tumblr and making them worth using, quickly becoming the fastest growing alternative over the last six months!
Waterfall is easy to use if you just want to blog and share neat stuff. If youâre an artist, Waterfall features a constantly evolving system to ensure that youâll be credited for your work. If you upload art, and someone tries to upload it later? Itâs automatically converted into a reblog of your original post. Someone steals it anyway, or you see something that breaks the rules? Donât worry - all reports are manually reviewed, with an average response time so far of less than six hours from report to the content or blog being removed.
Perhaps most importantly, thereâs no company behind Waterfall - itâs fully independent, with no shareholders to please. Just one guy and a couple volunteers keeping an eye on the content. This means no ads all over the place, and no decisions made to sell anything to you. Every single core feature of Waterfall is free, and will be forever, and weâll never monetise your stuff.
The site is still in development, but we already have a ton of the most important features you could want!
Reblogs!
Sideblogs! Want to keep content seperate? Each has their own follows and likes list. You can also send asks from them instead of your main blog!
Have a blog dedicated to a certain focus as your main that youâve gotten bored with? Itâs easy to switch your main blog to another.
Works on mobile! The browser version has very few issues on mobile, and a dedicated app is under development.
Dashboard skins! Donât like our colour scheme? Pick a different one. More are on the way, and youâll soon be able to create your own.
Prevent personal posts from being reblogged just by adding a simple tag (#dnr or #do not reblog)!
Blocking! The system is constantly iterated on as workarounds are found.
Worried the staff arenât active and donât know whatâs going on? Letâs put that to rest.
A community Discord! Find blogs, report bugs, and get help directly from the staff.
Manual report reviews! Your salad wonât be flagged for nudity.
Active staff and development team! Reports are usually reviewed and acted on in less than 6 hours, and bugs are fixed within an average of 36 hours from report to resolution. Patch notes are transparent on whatâs fixed, and the kind of reports we get are published every quarter (the latest one is here!)
And lastlyâŚ
Free and no wait list!
Thatâs not all! The site is still in heavy development, with the following slated to be added within the next two months:
Commission marketplace! Currently being tested amongst a handful of volunteer artists, youâll be able to use us to find customers and, optionally, protection against scammers.
Frequent Images! Have a sprite or meme you use a lot? No need to keep reuploading it, the post editor will keep it handy for you.
Comments and drafts!
Queue overhaul! Donât just post once per hour, control it down to the minute.
Pools! Follow an entire topic instead of just a blog.
Blog Themes! Select users are trying out the beta now.
Polls! No need to link to strawpoll anymore, itâll be built in to the site.
Like the site? A Tumblr importer will be available in a matter of days.
Interested in trying Waterfall? Our Terms of Service are here, our Privacy Policy here, and Community Guidelines here.
Feel free to check us out!
