i saw that crimethinc's demonstrator's guides were gaining traction (again) on here, so i decided to format them into one collection and printed off 30 of them to share.

i'm an amateur, so these are not publishing house quality -- but hey, they work fine, and the info and pictures are all there.

includes very detailed info on:
helmets, goggles, masks, armor, various police tactics and tools, blockades, lockdowns, and banners.

if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and i'll send one -- it's only ~$4 to ship, so i'm willing to cover the cost myself. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up.

email: fallrise@riseup.net

Next Saturday could see a mass demonstration against the proscription of Palestine Action with the Metropolitan Police warning they will make mass arrests of people in breach of the Terrorism Act's prohibition of any support for a proscribed organisation.

If the numbers that are expected turn up this will push PA proscription arrests over 1000 & will further demonstrate Yvette Cooper's anti-democratic credentials.

Another unforced error

The Kafkaesque proscription of Palestine Action continues to catch protestors in its claws... here a an ex-magistrate.

Yvette Cooper may (or may not) have thought she was pushing through a focussed limitation, but police forces across the country have decided to interpret it much more widely & thereby make a concerted attack on peaceful protest.

Cooper cannot just throw up her hands, she's to blame & could stop it!

Will she, though? Of course not!

We want to start off this #semester by making it clear that #students at #EKU make up the very demographics that are targeted by these policies, & that we do not stand for it. They can’t keep pushing us & expect us to be idle!
