If an officer or authority wants to speak to you, direct them to the sound truck, where there is a liaison team to the police and city authorities. Do not provoke police confrontations. If police try to provoke a confrontation with you, get their badge number, take a picture if possible, and report them to the legal team. Added Security Note 12. If someone attempts to provoke a fight or violence of any kind, try to diffuse the situation by loudly telling the person to stop, and why.
Women are often better at diffusing a violent situation.
Men should not assume they should take over. People who instigate violence in unity marches are often people who are trying to give the police the opportunity to use violence against us. If you have a camera, take a picture. Report incidents to the legal team or the nearest monitor. There will also be forms in the tent at the rally where you can fill out reports.
