• “Be Water.” Stay flexible, avoid being boxed in, and adapt quickly to changing situations.

• Leaderless organization. Decentralized coordination allowed the movement to continue even when individual organizers were arrested.

• Protective gear. Many protesters wore helmets, goggles, gloves, and sturdy clothing to reduce the risk of injury.

• Umbrellas as protection. Umbrellas became an iconic symbol, used to provide cover from cameras, rain, and to create visual barriers.

• The “cone tactic.” Traffic cones were sometimes placed over deployed tear gas canisters before they were extinguished, becoming one of the protest’s most recognizable symbols of collective action.

• Water bottles and teamwork. Volunteers were often seen using water to help cool or extinguish tear gas canisters while others assisted with cones or helped keep people away from the area.

• Street medics. Volunteer first-aid teams treated injuries and helped people affected by crowd-control measures.

• Supply chains. Communities passed along water, first-aid supplies, food, helmets, and other essentials through coordinated volunteer networks.

• Real-time communication. Protesters relied on encrypted messaging platforms and live updates to share information about road closures, medical assistance, and changing conditions.

• Buddy system. People looked after one another, attended in groups, and ensured everyone got home safely. The lasting lesson from Hong Kong wasn’t just resistance. It was preparation, mutual aid, adaptability, and community coordination under pressure. And don’t forget why you’re there. Stay focused on the cause, not the confrontation. Protect yourself, don’t retaliate, and don’t let provocation distract from the demand for accountability.

Remember to love yourself and celebrate who you are without shame. The best form of self-care and rebellion against the current anti-LGBTQ+ regimes is to simply exist and celebrate yourself openly. Never let anyone bring you down for simply being who you are.

A member in Glen Burnie told us that these signs were placed across their area within the same day, from school zones, to highways, to a Walmart parking lot. These signs are dangerously distracting and tend to blend in with school zone and traffic signs.

These signs need to stop and whoever is caught placing these on roads will be reported.
