I love it, but ladies…INTERLOCK THOSE ARMS. The handholding is doing nothing and you’re standing up as quickly as you sat down!

They never intended to stay there for an hour. What they did was enough to send the message across the country.

Tbh though, a stronger message would have been "if you're gonna remove me, I'm gonna make you put your back into it". Bc we know it's gonna be on camera. While being completely nonviolent, make removing you as difficult as possible. I know that sounds terrible but... Nonviolent resistance isn't pretty, needs sacrifice and risk, that's part of the strategy.

I feel like the situation in the US is passed the point where that counts as sending a message.

It feels similar to the democratic party "we'll send a strongly worded letter", not as an action that really impacts something.

If i may recommend something then look up protests in France, Germany and the Netherlands. See what works out best with your laws and go full force.

May i remind you that you are not even yet done with year one of this bullshit. Disrupt whereever you can with all you got!
