We all will have to be involved in some way in the coming four years.<br /><br />I'm going to the New York City Women's March, which will be so large that there will be staggered times at which organizations can meet at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.<br /><br />I'm for all kinds of tactics, but remember that the Civil Rights Movement utilized nonviolent civil disobedience. The AIDS activists who got government action going on AIDS research and treatment used a lot of creative nonviolent disobedience which got results. <br /><br />The suffragist movement also used nonviolent disobedience, standing outside the White House throughout WWI and even doing a hunger strike inside prison after they had been arrested. They finally won women's right to vote.<br />(See film Iron Jawed Angels about this.)<br /><br />The list goes on and on. We'll all have to join in various activities in the near future, even email campaigns, phone calls, donating, whatever one can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-20460405313619235022017-01-18T21:04:35.957-05:002017-01-18T21:04:35.957-05:00Glad you're going prepared.
