Georgian government is passing a "foreign agent" law. This will be a tool to suppress freedom of speech, aid of non governmental organizations will stop. They will start getting private information on anyone and arrest them if they do not like them. Everyone who is financed by "foreign countries" will have to literally register as a foreign agent😑 (NGOs, erasmus students...)
And the only country who is supporting this decision is RuZZIa. All of our foreign partnerts are telling us that this will be a major step back and this will make us lose the EU candidate status.
So we have no other way to protest peacefully. But they are using rubber bullets, special forces and the police are beating and arresting people. They also use gas and pepper sprays. But still we go out everyday ro prostest!

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters):
(partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter)
first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year.
second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this!
third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police.
1. how to stay safe:
- write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body
- DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you.
- put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already.
- never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised.
- dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin.
- WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well.
- DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue.
2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest
- dont resist. they will attack you
- make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation
- ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY
- ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation
- DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you.
Your rights if youre stopped/detained:
- you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you
- police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you
3. what to do if you see someone being detained
- film it. police cannot view or delete the footage
- talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared
4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc…
5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE
6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc…
7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/
especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING.
please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.

🚨
If any of you are attending a protest this weekend here are some things you should be aware of/safety tips -
• Saline works better than water/milk for tear gas
• You should be hydrating the day before and during the march
• Bring goggles (with no ventilation) and a face mask
• IF YOU ARE IN TEXAS - remember that we are in a red state and there are a lot of people who carry and support ICE, so be mindful of your surroundings and keep it peaceful !
— also be aware that our governor is an asshat who wants us to act out and get arrested to prove a point
• If you are undocumented, it may be best to stay home
• Carry American flags as well as Mexican/Palestinian
• Do not park too close to the site
• Leave your phone at home if at all possible - write emergency contacts on your arm
• Bring something to cover up tattoos/identifiable marks
• Bring a buddy and discuss a quick exit plan if necessary; also discuss a meet up spot if you get separated
• WATCH YOUR DISTANCE - as you’ve probably seen already, law enforcement is shooting people with rubber bullets at extremely close range. The closer you are to them, the more likely they are to target you.
If you would like to attend a protest, I have added a link to the No Kings website where you can find one closest to your city. (There are an insane amount all over the US and other countries at this point)
Please stay safe and cool out there <3

I've recently started doing this. I carry a tiny box of mints, where I keep my small papers, a pan and magnets.
It is a cute way of capturing memories🧚🏻♀️
