Plea for help: I've got a cash infusion coming Monday from my mom, but I'm basically broke ahead of tomorrow's No Kings Day protest and want the option of getting out of the area via Uber/Lyft. (beehaw.org)

The more I'm reading about both local LEO preparations (those being shared) and how Street Medics usually interact well with local EMS, the more it feels like options should be as much of a prep concern as safety.

I'm getting a ride there, but should shit go south, well, I'm north. And who knows what those rates will look like if scores of people want to book at the same time?

As I've received both offers for assistance and assistance itself in the past, here we are.

I have CashApp and would be happy to share it via DM. I've just switched from Monday's excitement about entering this world to "oh, fuck."

In some 30 hours, it all hits the fan, and I have no idea what to expect.

I'm going to be embedded with Street Medics, so the risk is lower than for somebody just sauntering down there. This does not change having an exit strategy should things go south. The official protest lasts only until before sunset, and we plan to leave at 20.00.

The key word there is "plan" ... best laid plans.
