(877) 74-22-OWS is a FREE interactive number that connects protesters directly to NYC legal resources if you're being arrested or witness police brutality. It's easier to write down 1 number on your arm than 6, and it's easy to distribute. Plus there's only pay phones in the Tombs.
If you dial (877) 74-22-OWS, you're instantly connected to any of these:
* NYCLU arrest hotline
* NLG arrest hotline
* OWS hotline
* 311
* Citizens Complaint Review Board
* NYC City Council main line
Here's the info page: http://owsarrest.com
Saves ink, saves time: write it down, and please pass it on!
ANYTIME the "99%" police come down to the park, gently ENCOURAGE them to leak documents/information about their unlawful crackdown on OWS!
Hold up signs describing where to leak documents, and how to switch to our side!
Follow them! Gently, but CONSTANTLY plead with them to help us!

What about protester brutality? Who do we report when the protesters fake injuries, like the guy who stuck his leg underneath the police motorcycle?
What about when the protesters try to provoke the police?
If you want to do the right thing, set up a website that thanks the NYPD for their restraint and professionalism in dealing with these protesters.
