We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Civil unrest starts at protests. Random individual action has its place. So does a crowd who’s ready to throw down.
Besides, it’s a good experience for people who have not yet been personally physically active in their resistance. It’s a place to meet like minded people and build those relationships and networks which will be important later on.
Just because a particular action doesn’t resolve every problem doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Civil unrest being violently quashed is what leads to more civil unrest being more violently quashed leads to full on revolt. It starts small and when word spreads it can get bigger. It can also get crushed out of existence.
