1. Call the television stations BEFORE you start your action. You have to tell them when and where you are going to have a conflict and you have to leave enough time for the remote truck to get from the station, through downtown traffic, to your position.

If you don't get on TV. It doesn't count. By the time the cameras got to my demonstration, it was long over. The reporters had to interview policemen, which they can do ANYtime.

2. Send the women out first. First of all it makes better pictures. Second, it makes some sense to see just how cranky the cops are going to be.

3. If you have to retreat, back up in the street. If you retreat to the sidewalk (as my guys did) then the police have already won because you gave up the street you were sent there to block.

4. When you re-form your battle line, don't lock arms. Think dominos.

5. Don't start your demonstration at 4:30 in the afternoon. Unless you have trapped OJ in an SUV, it's too early for the local news to cover you live, but too late for TV stations to get a good package together.

6. If you can't make news in Philadelphia this week, you are not going to make news anywhere.
