Crisis and health experts share the resources you need to protect yourself physically, emotionally, and legally.

✔️Don't yell; use signs & noise makers insteadBefore you attend any demonstration whatsoever, develop a plan, Matloff says. Be ready for escalation. Be ready to escape. Make sure you have everything you need with you.

“When you’re in one of these situations, your adrenaline starts flowing and you get excited, because emotions are infectious,” Matloff says. “So as tempting as it is to go right into the center of the action, stay on the periphery. You’re still going to be participating or observing, but you’ll be able to maintain some degree of social distancing.”

“There are times when the mob stops moving, and space does open up on the perimeter,” she says. Plan that time to “drink some water, eat a snack during those times. Try and find a little extra spacing where you can safely pull your mask down.”
