Goals for Protesters: Expose police violence, Drain police resources, De-arrest each other, Weaken police morale, Spread useful tactics, and Build support through community
Many people have different goals (and that’s a good thing!), but here are a few goals that are fairly common among people who have been rising up for Black lives and against policing and imprisonment.
Feel free to adapt this for your own purposes!

1. We will respect a diversity of tactics in the streets, as they reflect a diversity of political perspectives within our movement. We will not physically prevent fellow demonstrators from taking actions they deem necessary. 2. While we may debate and disagree, we will not denounce fellow protesters in public statements in a manner that exposes them to state repression. We will not denounce protesters for engaging in self-defense or property damage. 3. We refuse to cooperate with politicians in legitimizing the repression of other parts of our movement. We will not accept this as a condition for dialogue with city officials. 4. We refuse to help police repress our movement. We will not help police identify and prosecute protesters, nor hand protesters into police custody, nor provide general intelligence on our movement.
