Protests are an opening offer.

If you aren't willing to escalate, then they're meaningless.

    Protests are also networking events, where you show the public that opposition exists and is welcome to new members.

    We started as five people in a rural coffee shop last year, and now we're over 100, with the majority of the new members joining at protest events after saying "Oh wow, I've been commuting because I didn't think there would be resistance here!"
