You can get a Baofeng UV-5R and program it to use FRS channels and talk with regular cheap walkies, while also having a ton of flexibility in general. More posts to come on this subject!

nice little page they put together about building an IFAK
nice little page they put together about building an IFAK
A good basic beginner IFAK simply has a lot of gauze (of different thickness and size), medical tape, bandages, shears, extra surgical masks, ace/gauze rolls, CPR mask (if you know CPR), instant cold packs, and medical non-latex gloves of all sizes.
Also a squirt-top bottle of saline/sterile water for eye flushing (no milk, etc!!!).

"What could have helped, overall? 1) Wide sharing of practical "be water" tactics. 2) Telegram chan w/ scouted, timely, actionable info only; 3) Pre-identified backup targets in various directions; 4) Explicit support for groups of 30-ish to autonomously swarm by different paths.
1) Combining social media memes, OTG flyers, mini-trainings before and during the gathering at park, and announcements from stage, let's more effectively share key simple ways in which "be water/be soup" can be practiced. Always, & esp. in situations w/ lots of new folk.
2) Existing public telegram chans could be widely shared OTG, encourage every affinity group to rep. Add a relatively low-traffic announcement chan funneling info from trusted scouts intentionally spanning many locations. Re: security, let's us know what the cops already know!
3) Part of planning DA actions could include possible backup targets. Nothing essential about the precinct. This allows us to experience wins, be flexible, and engage more of the city. Targets could be pre-announced, or kept in reserve, announced via telegram when needed.
4a) 30-ish people can be safe to autonomously navigate streets. If riot van arrives, can force them to dismount (don't run). Can hold them there as long as possible; takes pressure off elsewhere. Or, if quick, can outrun/outflank. "Be water" sometimes means small droplets!
4b) This allows groups of different abilities/speeds to take different roles. Encourage at least some experienced people to join each group to support morale/skill/navigation of new folk. Can be self-organized rapidly in the street, after dispersal.
These sorts of tactics could allow street experiences to be more empowering, energizing, and organizing than they already are, for newcomers. They could help us grow, even under increasing pressure. For the next 100 days.
Be water, be pressure, under steam!"

Some notes on how to effectively organize in a decentralized manner. This is a big group, with a very broad general goal. People from different regions and in different situations may need to pursue different goals with methods of their own, however. Decentralized organization means effectively working together directly with those who agree with you in smaller sub-groups. Keep in mind that just because these sub-groups are separate doesn't mean they can't coordinate, though. One purpose of decentralization is to allow for people with differing views to organize without stepping on each other's toes. We all have a role to play, you need to find the one that best fits your views.
There are four major principles that can make for an effective sub-group:
Tactical unity: Everyone in your sub-group should be in agreement about what tactics you will be using and what tactics are acceptable. (e.g. Don't include "peace police" in your group if your intention is to cause a ruckus.) These tactics can evolve or change over time of course, the important thing is that everyone involved is on board with them. Small groups with agreed tactics and a commitment to carrying them out can be more effective than a large, less organized crowd. (But kept in mind that these smaller groups *can* work from within said crowd.)
Theoretical unity: Everyone in your sub-group should share the same goal. This should ideally be pretty specific, and can be anything from "feed the homeless" to "pressure the police in our local area" (or if you can, and everyone is in agreement, both). Like tactics, goals determine who the group members can cooperate with. If your goal is simply to feed the homeless, for example, your group can probably include sympathetic liberals, so long as they are committed to that. Similarly, this too is subject to change. You may start out simply feeding the homeless, but if a lot of people also want to pressure the police, yet others aren't interested, that's fine-- that group can split into two and the new group can organize around its own goals.
Collective responsibility: Success is everyone's responsibility. This means if someone screws up, you don't point fingers, you don't assign blame, you work together to fix it. Respect each other, and respect the decisions of the group. Additionally, people need to take breaks as well and everyone has different needs, energy levels, etc. in that regard. That's fine, others can fill in.
Federalism/autonomy: Basically, respect the independence and initiative of group members. Your group should not rely on any central authority to guide your decision making. Everyone gets a voice, and everyone involved in a project gets a vote on the nature of the project.
(These platformist organizational guidelines are based on the Organizational Platform of The Libertarian Communists (1926), which I will link below, along with another source for those interested in reading the theory.)

Journalists should protect themselves and their sources by keeping up-to-date on the latest digital security news and threats such as hacking, phishing, and surveillance. Journalists should think about the information they are responsible for and what could happen if it falls into the wrong hands, and take measures to defend their accounts, devices, communications, and online activity.

Iterating common goals and objectives:
1. Fight fascism - immediate threats
A. Prepare for lead up and election meltdown & ensuing constitutional crisis
I. Logistics for sustained protests, marches, strikes, mutual aid
Il. Gather Intel on threats by region/city (far right groups & police)
2. Fight fascism - post election scenarios
A. Trump refuses to transfer power/wins via sabatoge etc. post January and stays in office
1. Build out mutual aid, resistance, Underground railroad infrastructure for ppl who are targeted by the state (Trump has been compared to Saddam Hussein and M. Kaddafi in sadism... We can expect him to cast a wider net of violence and oppression...like CHILDREN IN CAGES and possibly 400k deaths from covid-19 by then)
2. Biden takes office.(*if we get to this scenario then this group may branch out) Keep building/maintaining mutual aid and far right extremist intel (it will still be around). Strengthen organizing/networks/heavy engagement to hold him accountable because he and Harris have not been friends to civil liberties to say the least
Thoughts? Just trying to spell it out so we can be focused on immediate priorities/threats before overspending on hypotheticals
