The Clean Hands Foundation is making a collection for the members of the ‘First Line’, a group of people who with different objects try to protect the protesters from possible attacks that are generated in the middle of disturbances with the Public Force.
The objective of the collection is to provide the ‘First Line’ with different resources such as shields, helmets and more “light” and “resistant” gloves, in order to facilitate their work during the confrontations that may occur in the coming days in the framework of the National Strike.

“To defend against police brutality, resistance groups have been established in several cities that, with handmade shields, made of tin cans, protect themselves from the gases and bullets fired by the Public Force. It is urgent to provide them with lighter and more resistant shields because they are killing them ”, says the page where you can donate.
To support this collection, Senator Gustavo Bolívar, one of the main leaders of the opposition, through his Twitter account asked people to donate voluntarily to provide resources to them.
