Protest arrest / jail support form
Headed to a protest? Make sure you’re prepared!
Download, print, and fill out this form, then give it to a trusted friend or family member who won’t be at the event. In the event of arrests or other problems, they’ll be better equipped to support you — whether that means contacting a local bail fund, posting bail themselves, or supporting you until your release.
The questions in this form can feel scary, but having this information available will help you and your community keep each other safe. Having this information on hand can even be useful for other situations where you need support — like travel delays or personal emergencies.
One way to make filling out this form less stressful is to do it as a group activity: get together with friends and talk through what support you each may need and how to make sure you get it. You can also talk about who will hold your forms and handle contacting the necessary people in the event of an arrest.
Please copy and share this form with anyone who needs it.
