I have watched so many folks get abused by the mentality of “I have to get arrested to show I’m serious about the movement.” No, the state learned well from the days where protest arrests shook things up. Arrests should be strategic, if used at all, but there are lots of other movement strategies.

When going out to protest, the goal shouldn’t be to get arrested. Do not run yourself into arrests. Do not just hand yourself over to the state.
