Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

There's a protest planned for today near you. If you'd like to attend below is a bit of info.

Some more media mentions, mostly local and brief:

Do NOT attend this event.

No one can identify the organizers. It's being held without the involvement of any group of organized leftists.

The guidance posted in this thread recommends streaming of video evidence and propagation of that video. This is a blatant violation of operational security.

Revolutionary events are never shared with major media outlets. Major media outlets would not propagate them.

Do NOT attend this event. You WILL be identified by your oppressors. It WILL become a threat to your security. We CANNOT save you from the consequences.

Do NOT attend this event.

Every action has a level of risk. Doing nothing is not acceptable.

I see you.

A general strike would be far more effective and safer than people showing up to mass facial recognition scanning event.

I don't see how participating in a general strike would serve to identify you any less than marching.

And every little bit helps. Of course, if you're a person who's comfortable with a higher level of risk which might allow you do take "more subversive" actions, you might be wise to save your efforts for those, and forgo going to a march.

But that's not everyone, and we're not gatekeeping resistance.
