3) We will not incite, use, or return violence verbal or physical ­ towards any other person or creature.

4) We will not damage any property and we will take full responsibility for our actions and not try to evade legal consequences.

5) Weapons (or anything that could be construed as a weapon) are strictly prohibited. We will not bring or use illegal drugs or alcohol.

6) As members of a nonviolent demonstration, we will follow the directions of the designated coordinators. In the event of a serious disagreement, we will remove ourselves from the action.
