Occupy (your city here) - Practical Matters

[dykeumentary]

Occupy Wall Street is gaining more momentum every day. I hope we "the 99%" reclaim what is ours.
There's another thread to talk about the merits of these actions, insurance and individual debt etc. This thread is for people who are going to, or who have attended a demonstration.

I'd like to gather useful info here, for example:

Do you have a plan if you get arrested? Were you detained?
How do you treat eyes and skin exposed to pepper spray?
What happens if you get separated from your cell phone?
What will you say if someone in the media sticks a microphone in front of you?
Are you taking a first aid kit, food, or other supplies?
Will you be silent, bring a drum, or make a sign?

If you can't physically attend, what are you doing to support these actions?
The more prepared we are, the better chance for success we have.

! Let's do this !
