Stop what you are doing and go download this. Then read it. Do it now, not later.
Seriously, it is that important.
If you are involved in any kind of activism, from just venting over coffee with like-minded folks to lobbying and writing letters/sending emails, you need to at least consider that you may become a target.
I am very upset at the choice of "snitching" for the main part of the title, but nobody consulted me before the decision was made, did they?
Go. Download it. Read it. Forward this to each and every one of your friends and maybe seven or twelve folks you don't even know except you got their email address from one of those other forward-to-everybody emails. Just be nice and use BCC instead of spreading their email address even further over the internet.
stay safe.
Thanks to some last-minute assistance — with “last-minute” actually being several weeks ago — and thanks to the work of many volunteers, Rats!, the anti-snitch book, is now live.
Find it at http://rats-nosnitch.com/. Four different formats for reading. One bundle of HTML files for mirroring on your own site. All free.
Copy and distribute at will. Spread it around far and wide. Post to your blogs about it. Tweet it. Announce it on your Facebook page, mirror the entire site … whatever. The more this gets into the hands of potential victims of snitchery, the better.

I apologize. I spent the last several weeks dithering over one question concerning the website and the big question about getting it on Amazon and what to do with proceeds from any Amazon sales.
I finally decided Amazon can wait a while and the website question was too petty to dither over. So I made a couple small changes … and here we go. May it reach a million people who need it.
