Hi! Our bot had a technical difficulty and was down for about the last ~12 hours. If you contacted us during that time we may have missed your messages.

Sorry about that, going forward we'll be doing automated health checks to verify the bot is working.

As always we're reachable on @BLMProtestsBot

scanner: Police are gathering a crowd size estimate at 22nd st camp

22nd st camp needs bodies on the ground to hold it down

scanner: Apartment on the parkway security guard called 911 for the protest on 22nd. no other details reported

To keep up the date with visualized police and military locations, check out scanmap.mobi

OTG: Cops are currently near the camp

Free today? At loose ends? Maybe laid off? Grab your raincoat and umbrella and head to 22nd and BF Parkway to see how you can help the folx OTG.

This is the camps current supply needs

Here is an update of supply needs at the camp

There is a meeting at the camp at 5:30 for those who would like to recap this mornings meeting about volunteering.

📱Admin Note:📱

✨Good morning beloved revolutionaries!✨

🌤Highs in the mid 70s!!🌤
🦠Wear a mask & social distance🦠
💭Remember💭:
✔️Do: Share this channel @OTGdispatch with trusted friends on the ground
Do: share the @phillypolicebroadcast channel.
✔️
❌Don't: Post the link to this channel in public/social media where cops can find it❌
💥Be careful with munitions, it's hard to tell a gas grenade from a flashbang.
💥Gas grenades are still grenades, rubber bullets are still bullets. They're "less-lethals" 💥 In case of sonic weapons: Run SIDEWAYS and DIAGONAL not straight away. Earplugs are harm reduction.
💥Don't touch anything bare handed and wait til it explodes before you knock it back. 💥Don't take souvenirs, they may be coated with chemicals or incriminating UV dyes
🌊Just use water to rinse out tear gas 👁
🧼 Castile soap washes pepper spray off your skin 🧼

📸 Don't show faces of any protestor in streams, videos, or photos; & scrub your EXIF! 🤳
🙈 Wear a mask, no contact lenses, cover tattoos, bring eye protection 🙈
🙊 DON'T TALK TO COPS, if they arrest you say NOTHING but "I invoke my right to remain silent and my right to consult an attorney" 🙊
🙉 Don't trust anything they tell you 🙉
🐷 If they take a knee, IT'S A TRAP (And don't dance the macarena with the NG neither!)🐷
💦And always stay hydrated baby~💦

✨✊Abolish the Police ✊✨
