Volunteer your time and skills
From the nationwide protests to others hosted by diaspora communities in the UK, Germany, Canada and Germany, the movement has been sustained by many individuals volunteering their time and services while working in unison.
So far, emergency medical teams, pro bono lawyers, and mental health support have been provided on ground to help protesters as needed.
As of Wednesday, the volunteer legal team have assisted in securing the release of more than 80 protesters detained by the police for partaking in the ongoing demonstrations.
Mental health organization, MentallyAware created panic cards to help protesters who might get panic attacks as a result of protests. More medical assistance are also available on ground through emergency ambulances, physiotherapists and mental therapy.
Businesses in the catering sector and private individuals have provided full meals, snacks and water to keep protesters at all points in the country sustained as they call on the government to reform the police and end SARS. Private individuals have also donated water and food parcels to the protest sites.
Volunteers in the technology sector set up an auto messaging platform to call the attention of senators to the needs of protesters.
To ensure the safety of the demonstrators, some of whom have been attacked despite the movement being peaceful, a police brutality report form was set up.
Stay informed and speak out
Through the original #EndSARS hashtag, Nigerians on social media have been able to call the attention of the world to what is going on in the West African country.
Many hashtag variations of the same message to end police brutality, have trended daily for the past one week, thanks to the people pushing the message nonstop online.
This explainer video detailing everything about the End SARS movement, broadcast templates for easy dissemination on Instant Messaging apps like Whatsapp, and a flyer showing the 5 requests activists want to see met are some ways to get a headstart on sharing what is going on across all social media platforms.
A website was put in place to document accounts of the Nigerian youth's brutal experiences at the hands of the police. Flyers in several local languages have also been created, all in a bid to shine more light on the plight of young Nigerians and get information flowing as freely as possible.
