If you are arrested while protesting in Elizabeth City, contact the NC NLG Legal Hotline.

If you have a loved one in custody, they can call us directly from the jail.

#stream march is back at courthouse and organizers are reading the jail support number. Curfew goes into effect at 8pm (now) until 6am tomorrow.

#stream good-sized crowd chanting "People power! Revolutionary power!"

Stay strong, Elizabeth City. We've got your back.

#scanners police seem to be trying to figure out intentions of the crowd at the courthouse but it's been fairly quiet, pretty sure they're using secondary comms methods again since they know we monitor scanners.

#stream loving this crowd energy. No fear, everyone seems pretty loose and showing love and solidarity.

#stream Kerwin Pittman, a community organizer, who's been streaming all week, announced you can follow his Instagram for more info @activist_kerwin_pittman

#admin since we're now past curfew, reminder: when you vacate the area, police in marked and/or unmarked cars can and will run your plates, follow your vehicles, and tail you. Do not go straight home. Take indirect routes. Stop at your local pizza joint. You weren't at a protest tonight, you were having soup with your family.

#scanners police are unsure what direction protest is moving and trying to navigate where to block off roads for vehicles to be rerouted

#stream unconfirmed sighting of "medical transportation bus" near protester-occupied area. People otg concerned it may be used for mass arrest transportation. People still have high morale, everything chill

#stream loudspeaker just announced curfew/dispersal order to crowd. They do this periodically each night but haven't actually acted until later in the night so far this week . Be alert but no need to panic.

#admin while things are calm, going to share some important resources in case a police response does occur. No need to be concerned, just pushing this out while things are quiet for informational purposes.

Dealing with Tear Gas and Pepper Spray

DO NOT RUB IT IN
Decontaminate your hands before you touch any part of your body.
FLUSH YOUR EYES
Use clean, cool water to flush and clean out your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you do not have access to clean water, use saline.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Gas masks provide the best facial protection, if properly fitted and sealed. Alternatively, goggles, respirators, or a wet bandanna over the nose and mouth will help.

STAY CALM. Panicking increases the irritation. Breathe slowly to ground yourself and remember it is only temporary

CLEAN OUT
Blow your nose, rinse your mouth, cough and and spit. Try to get as far away from the source as possible and keep your distance from others.
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES
Removes the lenses or get someone to remove them for you, with CLEAN, uncontaminated fingers. Destroy the lenses after exposure.
