Our guidance is this: If violence or crime happens near you at a protest, move away from it. Don’t be a sitting duck.

The best way to remain able to protest is to secure your communications now. One of the best tools for communicating privately in the modern era is Signal, a free text-messaging app that is the current state of the art for secure, private communications. You should start using Signal now, and get your friends whom you resist with to use it as well.
