Hey it looks like black lives matter protests are going to be kicking off in force soon so this is just a friendly reminder from your local Street medic to not let a stranger put anything but clean drinking water into your eyeballs.

Do not wear makeup to protests where you suspect that tear gas will be used.

Wear all black, or mostly black, comfortable running shoes, and cover up all tattoos.

It is likely that the police are going to be using more force this summer than they were last summer. If you have the money and ability to do so, I suggest putting together a small medical kit or possibly even an IFAK. Even just two water bottles and some bandages, helps our medical supplies go further, last longer, and allows us to help more people.
