RELEASE THE FILES * END ICE AGGRESSION * IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE #47

What Now?

Above all else, one must understand one of the main tactics of our opposition is producing overwhelming chaos. The goal is to break us down, desensitize us to the daily horrors, so that we will be less likely to resist.

DO NOT COMPLY.

It is the only language they know and they will crucify us with it if we let them. "You don't need a bullet. You need a brain. You need a mind that can't be manipulated. You need an inflammable heart, a heart that can stay calm, cool and collected while everything around you is in flames." -- Shahid Bolsen (watch this powerful video to understand this quote in context)

In the following pages, we will outline how to prepare yourself, your family and your community. We will provide information on locations and dates for protest and how to do so effectively.

As the Trump regime stumbles over itself trying to make us suffer, they provide the perfect FOIL for our movement. Their cruelty makes our mission a beacon to the poor, huddled masses as we strive to bring them in from the cold. We must not squander the opportunity provided by our political adversaries.
