Without going into too much detail I’ll be participating in a strike action tomorrow related to the college encampments from the past month. While I’m excited to be a part of on the ground action, my anxiety over confrontation is flaring up quite a bit. Especially with there being such a big Zionist presence in my city, I’m worried about not just the police, but reactionaries coming to pick a fight. And while organizers say the likelihood of this is low, it’s something that will always be on the back of my mind. Is there any advice for overcoming these fears and making the most out of tomorrow?
You know, ideally they won’t show up and cause trouble. But if they do? Kick some fascist ass. You’re already ready for cops, and compared to cops they’re gonna be less organized, less armed, and much less capable of putting you in prison. Good luck tomorrow. Genuinely these political strikes in the US are world-historic and your part in them means a lot.
Cops were easily the more aggressive party. Came in with batons ready to crack skulls. It was hilarious to see them seething at not being able to beat up on citizens.
