Stay safe.. don't engage..sit down. Sit ins were very successful in the 70s! If they attack someone who is peacefully sitting, that reflects horribly on them!

Excellent advice, and these days we can make sure someone is videoing everything so there are very clear accounts of what happens.

It is bad bad bad advice. This is escalating. We do not escalate to civil disobedience. March, sing, carry signs. Do not provoke violence from them

Do not sit down! This is escalating up to civil disobedience. You will be dragged off. Sit ins were bloody in the 70's.

This is the absolute wrong advice. They are just itching for a reason to start shooting. They are just waiting to declare the Insurrection Act.

Do. Not. sit. Down.

March, Sing, Carry signs.

Be smart.

I said this because it has been warned that disrupters are going to infiltrate peaceful protests & cause damage & possible injury & the only way to separate the good from the bad, for the cops to see who to arrest.

We must, must be careful in what we say. I will always check a source. There are also provocateurs writing things. Please check with the organizers, such Indivisible, on protest rules.
