If you feel you cannot perform a specific task for whatever reason, inform a peacekeeper leader so a person can be found to replace you. If you find that you cannot handle yourself nonviolently in a situation, notify another peacekeeper and step away from the conflict.

This includes caring for children, carrying signs or banners, working at a concession or table, distributing literature or other organizations, etc. Heckling Your primary responsibility is toward the witnesses involved in the procession and to keep the procession moving smoothly and peacefully.
