If you are a white liberal seriously thinking about more than nonviolent resistance for the first time, you have a LOT of history to catch up on

And frankly, there are plenty of steps in-between that most Americans are still uncomfortable with. What laws and norms are you willing to break to try and *prevent* violence?

Would you stand between the cops and the sweep of a houseless encampment? Would you help occupy an abandoned building to give someone shelter? Would you look away while someone shoplifted something they could sell for a hundred bucks to feed their kids?

Would you defend activists who damage property to defend our right to a livable planet? Would you provide jail support to students arrested for protesting genocide? Would you house a person who is undocumented? Do you know anything about AIM?

Mutual aid and direct action are more important right now than breaking down the door to the Treasury. They are also more difficult and less sexy.
