for SALE: protest kits

I’m interested in creating a “protest kit” for use in civil disobedience and selling it to protesters in upcoming protests locally. This kit will be in the same vein as DIY kits and/or instructions made available by artists, activists, NGO’s, etc.

Examples:

G20 Toronto Protest Kit

“DON’T FORGET TO BRING ALONG A FUN ATTITUDE AND TEDDY WITH YOUR TEAR GAS REPELLENT”

Deployment: OccupyBoston, Friday September 30

See link below to download and spread the pdf version!

Welcome to Occupy Boston. We do not represent any one union, activist group, or organization in Boston. We are a large gathering of disaffected, angry, fed up Americans from all walks of life. We represent only ourselves- the 99%. We find it very interesting (and telling) that the mainstream media continually accuses us of being a mass of fractured, disconnected causes, yet once we come together under the Occupy banner, they call us disorganized and expect us to come up with a singular demand.
