A note on jurisdiction:
When you are detained or arrested, your location and which agency does the arresting can really affect how things go for you down the line.
There is a map of the Independence Mall area at https://nps.gov/inde/planyourvisit.htm that shows what the park service had jurisdiction over. These would be federal areas. Add to that the "statues and monuments" act and a lot of Old City becomes Federal. This changes how protests are treated.
Stay smart today, make sure you have the Up Against the Law hotline number on your arm (484- 758-0388) and watch out for your comrades.

OTG: police presence around Center City is increasing. Thanks for the tips, everyone.
Be careful comrades, PPD seem to have a bad case of the zoomies all over the city. Look both ways before crossing the street. They are literally everywhere. Rackin' up that overtime!
OTG: Police are being bussed in. Field trip! There will be so many pigs out today guys... Watch yourselves
OTG: Police informed a person down by Independence Mall that the Feds were going to secure basically the whole area. Absolutely not a surprise there, please make sure to create a meet up spot away from the area of Independence and Constitution Center
Scanner - It’s sounds like folks are gathering on the north side of 5th and market
OTG: The only area blocked off is the lawn by the constitution center building. Many cops. Some protesters with a banner.
Motorcade is moving, or at least getting ready to. Traffic will probably be very tricky in Philly now
OTG: Police are closing market between 5th and 6th. Cops w/ video camera between 5,the 6th over heard saying are going to "get good footage of faces and tatts". Mask up! be safe!
