These are the Principles of Solidarity according to itsgoingdown
1. We will not talk to the police about our comrades – this includes all levels of local, state and federal law enforcement, jail staff, Immigration & Custom Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, Internal Affairs, and the Citizen Police Review Board.
2. We will not post potentially incriminating information, or post incriminating video footage about our comrades on the internet, on social media, via live stream, or in any published articles (This includes any forms of information posted on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Signal, blogs, emails, text messages, etc.)
3. If we are contacted or questioned by federal law enforcement we will immediately report this to the NLG federal hotline at 415-285-1041 to get legal support. If we are contacted by the DA or local law enforcement we will report this to the NLG public hotline at (415) 909-4NLG. We will also inform our community and be transparent about what questions were asked and how we answered so that all those involved can take the necessary precautions and make appropriate safety plans.
4. We will never publicize peoples arrests or other private legal information without their direct consent. For example, if someone we know has been arrested, we won’t spread that information on social media because doing so could expose them to doxxing and other consequences. We will only create crowdsourced bail funds, or reach out to local bail organizations with the consent of the arrestee.
5. We will build a culture of solidarity by being vocal when our community does not live up to the above principles. For example, we will call out movement live-streamers and people who post incriminating footage. We will explain to people using their cameras at protests why their actions are dangerous. We will be careful not to spread unsubstantiated rumors about other activists, but we will call out snitches when we have solid evidence of cooperation with the state.
6. We also enact this principle of solidarity through the support and care we provide for one another in the face of repression. Depending on circumstances, this can look like: showing up in person or online for court support, building a public campaign with the consent of the arrestee, picking comrades up from jail, making jail visits, writing letters to incarcerated people, contributing to commissary and/or bail and helping people take care of their pets or family members.

#skywatch Current helicopters in the air 1 is news the other 2 are probably police.
#Scout: Large Police staging area at 20th and Pattison Ave is halfway filled up. They moved OEM trailer from Quartermaster down to Pattison and have at least 5 sheriff buses, 5 SEPTA buses, over 100 squad cars, and over 10 police vans clustered on the west side of the lot, plus a coordination tent in the back, and cops civilian cars on the west side of the lot. The two west most gates are closed and they are coming and going from the East most gate, which is guarded. Safe to say they are planning a much bigger response tonight. Whatever is in that Bentley Rentals box truck is back too. Also spotted a cop truck pulling a cop trailer with a bunch of doors on it westbound on Oregon at 21st, probably headed over to West. #forward
There's a Community meeting at 6pm with District Attorney Larry Krasner and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw at The Church of Christian Compassion at 61st and Cedar. Reminder that this is a COMMUNITY MEETING, for members of the Cobbs Creek community and Black Philadelphians in general. #forward
#ground two groups of blue shirts, at least 3 cars, stationed at 52nd and Spruce intersection.
#ground police meeting point changed to 11th chestnut whole bus load officers released
Whatever Krasner and Outlaw says does not change that tonight we will make our voices be heard. All they are doing is pandering to the Republicans who still think this isnt a systemic problem so they can continue to delay changes. Walter Wallace was killed by 2 police officers. He is the 2nd man killed by police in Philly this month. Last night police rioted and threw punches and batons at those from the community. Neighbors of Walter. The Philadelphia police have been infiltrated by 2 white nationalist paramilitary organizations, Blood and Honor, and the Proud Boys. There is only 1 answer to this problem and that is abolition of the Philadelphia Police Department. #forward
