• LWS will use video footage from today to identify, harass & dox you.
• PLEASE WEAR A MASK (available from the Wellbeing Group), which will also help protect yourself and others from airborne illnesses.
• WHEN YOU LEAVE, put away any indicators you were involved in the demo (flags, signs, etc).
• DO NOT UNMASK UNTIL YOU’RE AWAY — but do unmask as soon as it’s safe.

• There may be dangerous people looking to target folk on their own.
• STAY IN A GROUP: People you arrived with, or make new friends with other counter-demonstrators!
• DO NOT LEAVE ALONE. Volunteers will be happy to escort you home safe.
• SHARE INFO, NOT RUMOURS. Talk to others about what you see & hear, but avoid baseless speculation — it’s bad for morale & causes panic.
• IF THE DEMO MOVES, disperse and relocate in small groups. Do not march as a large crowd — it’s illegal.
• IT’S OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK. Breathe. If you feel upset, speak to a friend or a mental health first aider. We can all support each other.

• DO NOT SPEAK TO LWS PEOPLE. They will try to antagonise you, verbally and physically. Whatever you say will be filmed and edited to make you look bad.
• DO NOT RESPOND TO PROVOCATION. They will shove, grab & insult you, & scream obscenities in your face.
• DO NOT REACT. You will be filmed and made to look like the aggressor.
• IF YOU FEEL THREATENED, link arms with comrades or walk away.

• …TO POLICE. They are not your pals. At best, they’re neutral. Just assume they’re hostile underneath.
• …TO THE PRESS. Most outlets have a transphobic agenda and are keen to misrepresent anything you say. Press enquiries will be handled by Alice Cogswell & Emma Goldman.
• …TO LWS PEOPLE. You will never change their minds. Don’t give them content for their social media.
• …TO POLICE. No, really. It’s worth repeating. DO NOT TALK TO COPS.

DO NOT LOWER YOUR GUARD.

• LWS will be in town all weekend. They may continue their aggressive tactics on a smaller scale. Previously, they’ve made trouble in LGBTQ+ bars after demonstrations.
• If you’re alone later, don’t sport obvious signs like the trans pride flag. Keep in touch & check in with friends to make sure everyone is safe.
