Stockades for the loonies, ya think?
From disrupt J20 website:What are you planning?
planning a series of massive actions that will shut down the Inauguration ceremonies & celebrations–the Inaugural parade, the Inaugural balls... paralyze the city, using blockades & marches to stop traffic, public transit....we’re even going to throw some parties. Come to McPherson Square on Friday, January 20th, starting at 9 AM. We’ll be gathering there to launch actions and regroup throughout the day.
What is direct action?
We don’t ask permission or put our faith in electoral politics, instead, we use our bodies to stop the smooth operation of the system we oppose. Examples of direct action include the ongoing resistance at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the street and highway blockades of Black Lives Matter, or the occupations of public squares during Occupy Wall Street.
They want to use their bodies for action and those very bodies need to be fined or arrested if they obstruct traffic and free movement.
