Staying Safe During a Protest

Wisdom Cole student debt protest

No Justice, No Peace

To march, rally, protest, and demonstrate is our First Amendment right. Throughout history, people have peacefully taken to the streets to demand civil rights, press for gun reform, and decry police brutality.

No matter the political climate, it's important to amplify your message peacefully and safely. Overall, remember to always keep a full view of your surroundings and stay mindful of what's happening in every direction. Trust your instincts and pay attention to anything out of the ordinary this includes odd behavior, unattended items, strange activity, or unfamiliar vehicles. Something doesn't feel right? Speak up and report it immediately.
