In this walk, no one can judge you for who you are, how you want to be, and how happy you are. The cops may try to confiscate your colors so they won’t let you into the field. In that case, tell them you know your rights. Ask if they have search and seizure powers. If they insist on confiscating your mask, flag, banner, make a record. Defend your rights.
