SIGACTS: 28 August-30 August 2020 Weekend of protests in Raleigh, NC.
SITREP: Two BLM-affiliated groups are planning a weekend of protests in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area. Beginning 7pm on Friday, August 28, 2020 “Smash Racism Raleigh” will conduct a protest and demonstrations outside the Wake County Courthouse. Additional protests throughout the weekend in Durham will be led by “Durham Burn/Bull City in Solidarity with Kenosha”. Other BLM-affiliated groups such as Raleigh PACT, Refund Raleigh, and NC BORN have put out notices to their followers asking for participation as well. N.C. Lieutenant Governor (and candidate for Governor) Dan Forrest has already called for the activation of the NC National Guard as downtown Raleigh prepares by boarding up shops and businesses. The groups are also protesting the announcement today by the Wake County DA to not prosecute police officers for the January 2020 shooting of Keith Collins, a black man who was holding a BB gun.
RECOMM: The downtown areas of Raleigh and Durham should be avoided during the weekend. These protests and the resulting counter-protests have the potential for violence as seen recently in Kenosha, WI, when an armed counter-protestor killed two BLM protestors and wounded a third.

Here at American Contingency, we encourage free speech and speaking for the community. As we allow posts from our supporters, we run into the rare and few comments that do not properly represent AmCon. Below are rules for moderation, as we review posts and accept/decline the ability to show the post.
-No hate speech: racism, homophobia, etc. AmCon does not support hate speech of any kind, as we are a fair community. Many have asked us to further define this- simply do not be hateful or disgusting. We support each other during these hard times and we will not let the few lone people who violate these guidelines divide us. Our concerns lie with being able to promote the values AmCon bring to the table. >>>Posting hate speech will limit the outreach of AmCon due to being bottlenecked on different platforms. Refraining from using "hate speech" will allow us to spread our message to the largest audience
-No violent comment: any posts containing violent speech, threats, etc will be promptly ...

Always-on VPN client such as Private Internet Access or ProtonVPN. You can set PIA up with a killswitch so that it won’t even touch the internet unless it’s running. These cost a few dollars a month but are far better than free alternatives. PIA subscription will allow you to run the software on several devices including your smartphone.
