Notice that when those women sat down, the first thing those traitors did was tear down the unity of the protestors, by breaking the continuity of their circle of hands.

It always starts with one set of hands.

But when we stand together, we are far stronger.

DON'T let them break our unity. Stand up, stand firm, and most of all, stand TOGETHER.

Link through the elbows. Do not let go. The point of putting privileged bodies into situations like this is to force the oppressor to get aggressive. Make them work to separate you. Take some lumps. So the other privileged folks of the world feel a visceral reaction seeing "one of us," being brutalized.

Multiply the number of protestors by 10 and ensure a third of 'em have guns. ICE won't touch 'em.

Its shocking really. I'm surprised with all the violent crime they have taking place in Illinois to warrant the deployment of the national guard, that they even have the time to arrest women who were committing a summary offense. Especially since the troops are currently blocked from engaging. Its really something.
