Comms for G-20 Protests

Information is Power
Be Part of the Revolution

Tin Can Comms Collective (http://tincancomms.wordpress.com/ )is coordinating a communications infrastructure which you can be part of. It is based on our experiences doing comms during the 2004 Anti-RNC protests. To be part follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Get a cell-phone that can receive texts. (We suggest a pre-paid phone for added security.)

Step 2: Pick a comms group/s you wish to follow:

• g20pgh—the general group and has most messages
• g20pghlite—general info but only the most important messages and has lower volume
• g20pghlegal—covers specific information like arrests
• g20pghmedic—covers specific information like injuries
• g20pghfood—covers specific information like meal times

Step 3: Set up a twitter account by sending a text message to 40404 that reads:

Follow [name of group]

If you already have a twitter account you are done. If you do not you will receive a text requesting a user name to be sent back. Follow the directions in the text.

REMEMBER: When you are on the street and you see relevant information, text it to 40404 or speak to an operator at 412-567-1420.
