If you are detained by the police, remember:
1: You have the right to remain silent.
2: You have the right to legal counsel.
Do not resist arrest. When arrested, we recommend you yell out your First and Last Name and Date of Birth, so that your information can be passed along to organizations that pay bail for detained peaceful protesters.
If you feel your rights have been violated by the police:
Contact the ACLU: 713-942-8146
Remember, you have the right to record all interactions with the police, and, it is in your best interest to do so! Also, make sure when dealing with police, put your hands up to ensure your safety.
Your protest matters. Dr. King’s words resonate today: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” #BlackLivesMatter
