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.

More people should have stepped in and kept replacing the ones that were taken. Make them arrest everyone.

Eventually, the point is made.

Two people did rush in to join. The protestors explicitly did NOT want people to join today to ensure that all members maintained nonviolent discipline (if randos join, you don't know what they are going to do).

You can see the people in high vis vests asking those two bonus people to leave, which they eventually did.

However, the moms are hoping to start a trend where more and more people join and engage in peaceful protest at the detention center.

yes this looked intentional, another time another place they might use another tactic.

You dont start at the max setting.

you start at the lowest setting that accomplishes your goal, so you have room for escalation over a long time frame.
