1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 2: Welcome to stuff. I never told you your protection if 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 2: I hurt radio. 4 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 3: So it's not a great time for the US. I 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 3: might have been crying this morning over some videos of 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: people outside of the US who actually are compassionately asking 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 3: how we're doing and understanding that we are not doing well. 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 3: And as more and more fascist things, fascist like things 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: and things are occurring here, we're trying to combat the 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 3: feeling of helplessness and fear by focusing on people and 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: organizations and protesters and the right to protest. That we're 12 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: trying to find things to uplift or to at least 13 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: encourage our fellow peoples in this time. And yeah, protesters 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: have been out and about all around the US even 15 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: today constantly, and with Labor Day coming, I know there's 16 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: some thoughts and processing of like possibly more organizations coming 17 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: out and about. So we thought for this activist around 18 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: the world that we would talk about some protesting organizations 19 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: and trusted organizations so we can gather together and get unified. 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: As we were talking about. 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: Previous leaders and protesters and people in the sphere talking 22 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: about how being unified is one of the key points 23 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: and combating this and with activists around the world. Something 24 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: that we love to do is highlight those good organizations 25 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: that we see as trustworthy and that have done proving 26 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: good work. However, let me admit to you now this 27 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: episode is a little odd, a little different because I've 28 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: hit some roadblocks, I've hit some questions in my own 29 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: mind and my own thinking. As we know that the 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: government to be paranoid or over the top. You know, 31 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: we're buying into some conspiracy theories, but we know that 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: the government does track a lot of our data. That's 33 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: what they have done. They have set this up from 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: jump in order to be able to do so with 35 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: very little uh, slowing down or any kind of repercussions. 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: They are free to do so. 37 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of conversations and even talking about 38 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: the organizations recently from other actives around the world, how 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: they're trying to protect their members and their staff, and 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: in order to do so, we know that things like 41 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: ICE does not care about any actual legal threshold, They 42 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: do not care about due process, and they don't even 43 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: actually care who you are. 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: And they have. 45 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: Given themselves permissioned by our current administration as well, to 46 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: do whatever they want. So there's a lot of up 47 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: things happening in which I have gone back and forth about, 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: like I want to talk about these organizations. I want 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: to find these organizations. But we even though we might 50 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: not be the best podcast, and we've kind of like 51 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: lost a lot of people through you know, host changes, 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 3: through other amazing podcasts coming out and all these other things, 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: so so many things. We might not be the most popular, 54 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: but we are still available in public spheres, and so 55 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: speaking out loud, we also want to take responsibility in 56 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: making sure people are safe as well. So I've hit 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 3: this moment of like I want to talk about these organizations. 58 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: I would love for you our listeners who are involved 59 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: in things in that area, because obviously we are in 60 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: State of Georgia, in Atlanta, and we have a very 61 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: different viewpoint from people who are in New York, in 62 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: la in DC. Talked to Bridget today and found out 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: how she was doing stuff like that. So if you 64 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: have experiences like you can tell us about how you 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: have joined some protests recently and how well they went 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: for you, or how scary they we went for you, 67 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: or things that you have learned, we would love for 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: you to share. 69 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: We need that right now. 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: We need that information because one of the things that 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: we can do as podcasters, and I feel like we 72 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: have a responsibility to do, is to be able to 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: tell the truth and highlight the things that are happening 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: around the country, especially when things are being suppressed pretty heavily. 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: So if you you know, our new email. 76 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: Address is hello at stuff Mom never told you dot com? 77 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Did I get that right, Eddie? 78 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: Yep, that's your thing, so I can't remember always, but 79 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: please send us an email. You can go onto our 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: social media. We're not on that as active anymore because 81 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: again we are in bad places in our mental health sometimes, 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: so you know, but if you can send us your 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: stories of what things that you think you can share, 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: things that you're willing to share, please do because we 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 3: need those stories. This is something like I'm doing as 86 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: a call out. So this is why this episode is 87 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: a little different. And honestly, we're also in crush month. 88 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: This is what I'm gonna call it, because this is 89 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 3: the time of year right before the holidays where a 90 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: lot of activity happens. Birthdays, dragon con holidays, vacation times, 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: all those things happen around this time. So we are 92 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: trying to get everything straight. So we are recording this 93 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: and what timestamp is August twenty sixth of twenty twenty five, 94 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: so a little bit ahead, hey, because you know, for me, 95 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: I'm the procrastinator likes the way last minute. 96 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: But we're a little bit ahead. 97 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: So even with that, there are obviously things that are 98 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: changing and being ever so scary, with things happening all 99 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: around the world, all around the country, as we write, 100 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: as we record, as we release this episode, there are 101 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: more and more events happening, so bear with us, and 102 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: especially specific episodes like these. And as a quick side, 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: we are trying our best to navigate the internet to 104 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: weed out misinformation and disinformation and bad players who are 105 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: only adding to the confusion. So if we discover new 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: things about people or organizations that may. 107 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: Be something that's important. 108 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: Maybe that comes out with like, oh this was wrong, 109 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 3: they did this, they're anti this, we'll come out to 110 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 3: speak about it. And if you know something that you're 111 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 3: like a you probably don't want to talk about them, 112 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: let us know because we can't always get all that 113 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: information just from two people's perspective, so we always need 114 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 3: your assistance with that. 115 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: But we are going to talk about some of the. 116 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: Past, organizations that have worked and have done some planning, 117 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: and that includes just the recent one, the No Kings 118 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: protests or an organization that have helped put together this 119 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 3: protest that happened in June of twenty twenty five. The 120 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 3: numbers are not completely clear, but the estimate attendees range 121 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 3: from two to four point eight million, so a pretty 122 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: big range across the country. There are some inaccuracies. The 123 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 3: inaccuracies seem to be due to the fact that small 124 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: towns were involved in this, and I love those posts. 125 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: One think about favorite things to see is the small 126 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: towns that I did not think would be a part 127 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: of protests like this. We're out and about, but it 128 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: was hard to count all of them, so there may 129 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: be more, who knows, and it's beautiful to see. Just recently, 130 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: I don't know if you know. Again, a time stamped it. 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: The Vice President came through Fayette County Phtree City, which 132 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: is one of the widest affluent areas in Georgia. 133 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: Coming to talk about crime rates. 134 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: Everybody laughed because that's a golf art community. They literally 135 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: have lanes for golf carts. 136 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also where they filmed a lot of Marvel movies. 137 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: Are they used to, Oh yeah, they used to. 138 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: So it's quite funny because they have probably some of 139 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: the better accessibilities for non car transportation. 140 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 141 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Also there's a lot to be said anyway, but 142 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: they had a protest there. It was lovely to see 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: protesting him and making sure they know that he knew 144 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: that he was not welcome. And there was no crime 145 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: to be talked about, like, of course there's small crime everywhere. 146 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: What we should be talking about is gun control, because 147 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: if we wanted to control any type of crime, that 148 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: would be it. 149 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: But they whatever. But yeah, so no Kings has been 150 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: a part of that. 151 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: They were able to infiltrate the whole country and many 152 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: people came out. I love the amount of people that 153 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: went through this we were able to see and participated. 154 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: One of the things that made this protest successful was 155 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: due to the fact that, again it was in more 156 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: areas than any others, so they had around twenty one 157 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty areas, where like the women's protests that 158 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: was also one of the largest in our lifetime, only 159 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: had six hundred and fifty locations, So it was pretty 160 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: impressive that it was as widespread as it was and 161 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: with that, this organization has pushed to encourage more people 162 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: to get involved with protesting and activism. In their site, 163 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: they had a program called a one Million Rising, which 164 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: is an effort to train people on a local scale 165 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: for resistance and for protests, which I loved. From their site, 166 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 3: they said one Million Rising as a national effort to 167 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: train one million people to resist authoritarianism together through a 168 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 3: series of trainings and local gatherings, will build the strategy, 169 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: skills and people power it takes to stop Trump and 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 3: his enablers from seizing more power. This is how we 171 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: get organized, this is how we win. So I love that. 172 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 3: So they had like a four part program on how 173 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: to get it done and listing things. They do have 174 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: some stuff on their site to show where the areas 175 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 3: that have come through and trained so that we can 176 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: see if things are going forward with types of protests. 177 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: And with that, they have completed that first batch of 178 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: sessions with several locations registered, so hopefully we can see 179 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: more of that. Again, this is one of those situations 180 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: where I kind of go iffy because if they wanted, 181 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 3: if they were be targeted, which we've seen in fascist 182 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: states that that does happen, and this information is important 183 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: to note, so's. 184 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Be weary because I know no kings. 185 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: We also had that big controversy where they try to 186 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 3: get people to register and everybody's like wait wait wait 187 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: wait wait wait wait wait wait, that doesn't seem like 188 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 3: a good idea, and I will hold it that that 189 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 3: doesn't seem like a good idea. I think it's interesting 190 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: to note that they wanted to know how many people 191 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: would attend for like number wise, but for safety reasons. 192 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: This seems like a bad idea, just to put that 193 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 3: out there. So in just recently, like this month in LA, 194 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: there's been many many protests. People are calling it music 195 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: fests on TikTok because TikTok is really. 196 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: Going downhill. We're just gonna say that way. 197 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: They had a twenty four hour day of action which 198 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: was planned by different groups including CHERLA or the Coalition 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: of Human Immigration Rights in LA which was founded in 200 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six, or the SEIU which is the Service 201 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 3: Employees International Union, and several other key players that came 202 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 3: in with different unions and definite immigration sites. They came 203 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 3: together working to mobilize and protests against the kidnapping illegal 204 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: arrests that committed by ice. So there's a lot of 205 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: cool things happening there. There's still going from what I understand, 206 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: I think was just like not being noted. People are 207 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 3: not seeing what's happening. And of course the only times 208 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: we see anything happening is if there's any kind of violence, 209 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: and well, we know how that got gets to that point, 210 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: don't we and moving. 211 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: On and then you know what, I don't know, we've 212 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: talked enough about this. I think we've talked about it before. 213 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: But the Quaker. 214 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: Community, let's just give a shout out to that Quaker 215 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: community who've been leaders and examples of protesting and nonviolent 216 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: protesting for years, four years since the like like in 217 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: the US, since the ending of slavery, they were there 218 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: as champions and advocates to the black community in that 219 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 3: time to end slavery, like they have been a part 220 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: of this community. In fact, not too long ago they 221 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: there was like a group of like three hundred Quakers 222 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: who marched from New York City to Washington, d C. 223 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: In protests of the immigration policies implemented by the current administration. 224 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: Like they marched all the way down in solidarity with 225 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: immigrants and how this administration is wreaking havoc and. 226 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: Doing illegal things. 227 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: And with that there are prime examples of consistent support 228 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: and advocacy work again throughout history, Like I really want 229 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 3: to talk more about it, but just recently Quaker protesters 230 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: were arrested along with others for protesting and supports Palestine 231 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: in the UK. They have chapters in groups. I believe 232 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 3: they call them the Friends because you know they used 233 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: to be the Friends Society. I believe what they were before, 234 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: like as the Quakers, and that they have been consistently 235 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: a part of these peaceful protests and willing to be 236 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: arrested in the name of justice. I'd love to see 237 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: it and also just as to put it out there 238 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 3: because again Labor Day is coming around, and I believe 239 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: there's some things happening. There's some active activism happening for 240 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: those of you participating. Here's some reminders from Amnesty dot 241 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: org and their new campaign which they call Protect the Protest, 242 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 3: which is working to protect protesters and their rights and 243 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 3: being able to peacefully protest and to alert the public 244 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: of the violations occurring in suppressing that right. It's occurring 245 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 3: now as in fact, there was an executive water about 246 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: arresting people who burn the flag, which has been a 247 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: form of protests for years, for decades, for decades, and 248 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 3: we know what's happening moving on. So they write this, 249 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: know your rights. You have a right to peacefully assemble, 250 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 3: a right to privacy, and a right to protest. If 251 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: you get injured, you have the right to receive medical care. 252 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 3: Police must avoid the use of force. So they say 253 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 3: to do these following things. Go ahead and plan ahead. 254 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 3: Make sure you know where you're going, make sure you 255 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 3: know where you can meet up, know the area, know 256 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: the area well. Wear protective clothing. And I think we've 257 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 3: talked about this in so many of the Black Lives. 258 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: Matter of wild wif that's important, whether it's eye wear, 259 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: whether it's not wearing contacts, whether it's wearing clothes that 260 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 3: are neutral and not marked, wearing masks because COVID is. 261 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: Still out there. COVID is still out there. 262 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: And then talking about packing emergency supplies, get your say 263 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: first aid kit. I actually take contact solution and such 264 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: because that can help flush out eyes. When we were 265 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 3: doing pepper spray things for my old job, because we 266 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: had to get pepper sprayed, they told us to use 267 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: baby shampoo that did not work, just so you know, 268 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: but you can try it. Don't use milk that has 269 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 3: been highly yelled at. Don't use milk because I actually 270 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: can make it a bacterial infection and may be really gross, 271 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: So don't do that. But emergency supplies, including emergency numbers, 272 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: knowing your rights, all of those things, and honestly, with 273 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: what's happening with ice and illegal detentions and kidnappings and 274 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 3: even like people faking being iced to attack women, that's 275 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: a whole different conversation. Be prepared to document human rights abuses. 276 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: You have the right to film people, especially in this situation. 277 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: What we would say is, if you're filming and recording 278 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: because you're so excited about being a part of the protest, 279 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: do not show people's faces. 280 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Do not show people's faces. So there's a lot to 281 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: be said in this moment. 282 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: Again, we do ask if you have examples, if you 283 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 3: have stories that you want to share in these protests, 284 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: if you have ideas, or if you have actual organizations 285 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: that you think should be shared, because I think that's 286 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 3: something that we don't have enough of, then please let 287 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: us know. Because honestly, I even asked our friend of 288 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: show Bridget who is an activist in DC, Like, what 289 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: do you know? Who do you know? 290 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Because it's really. 291 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 3: Hard to find credible sources that tell you who is 292 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: trustworthy and who is not.
