Protesting for the first time? Some tips:

Wear comfortable shoes (today probably also a hat) and carry water, and charged up phone.

London is probably one of the safest and nicest places to protest in the world

Also realise that there is no ‘right’ way to protest. If you feel uncomfortable step away

Lots of people who will make you feel welcome

You don’t need to walk the whole way or stay on. If ypu aren’t feeling well or are tired, it’s ok to drop off.

You turned up. That’s what is important

Above all, protests are a positive action in a democracy. They are about solidarity and fraternity. They make you feel part of a collective. They are evidence of a committed citizenry.

Enjoy exercising your fundamental rights as citizens of a vibrant democracy! ✊🏽

See you at the #carnivalofresistance this afternoon

PS am very grateful at not having to share tips for tear gas, water cannons and worse.

This too is a an incredible privilege!
