Is anyone interested in providing a spiritual presence for the protests? My idea is to wear all white as a signifier we are there to support and counsel people and be a core of nonviolence.
I'm going to the movement in mid October, and I'm interested in making sure that we can have a spiritual community of people who will support and comfort demonstrators and individuals who are struggling in some way, perhaps after having been beaten by police or having struggled in any other way.
I'm also interested in promoting as many aspects of nonviolence as possible. If we can be truly nonviolent and not even verbally provoke the officers, then our movement will be even stronger.
I think there's something to be said when doing civil disobedience about turning the other cheek and loving your enemy.
Hi. I'm very interested in providing a spiritual presence in a way that isn't at all preachy or critical of anyone else's energy (like implying others should be more peaceful).
I can wear white. I think I'll be there around 10/10 or so.
Let's use this thread to organize.
