Effective protest must be non-violent, structured and disciplined as a military maneuver. Just showing up to see what's happening or vent some steam is ineffective. "The Man" is watching and learning how to make your movement disreputable and ignored. Love your work David. CarryOn!

effective protest must be artistic, creative, it needs to bring people together, inspire others to join, and make anyone in the area want to join the movement.

Thank you so much for this report back about Chicago. Very interesting because I've also noticed that the speakers at most protests I go to just yell at us and there is seldom music and certainly no dancing.
