to protect your hands from

the heat of tear gas containers.

A rose so we can show that

we can do as we ought to and

peaceful way possible



Spray paint so that if the authorities

attack us, we can spray paint the

visors of their helmets and the

windshields of the armored trucks,

blocking their vision and hindering

their movement



Shoes that make it easy to run

and move quickly





How to Use the Accessories

as you're spraying them in the face.
