Protesting Safely
Protesting Safely 

It is impossible to talk about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic without acknowledging the fact that centuries of systemic racism have left Black Americans disproportionately affected. Our commitment to fighting the pandemic as a community also means recognizing the ways in which the intersection of racism and the pandemic have devastated certain communities. Here are some ways you can help support the struggle for a more just, safe, and healthy world.

Tips for reducing COVID-19 risk while protesting:

  • Wear a mask at all times.

  • Try to maintain a distance of six feet from other protesters.

  • Carry hand sanitizer and use it often.

  • Don’t share supplies with other protesters.

  • Wash your hands and clothes as soon as you get home.

  • Limit your contact with high-risk individuals after attending protests.

  • Consider getting tested if you can.

  • Make sure your phone is fully charged and someone knows where you are.

  • Know your rights as a protester and keep them in mind.
