Resist: It's Time

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.

I get the sentiment, but depending on the particular activity, not breaking the law is an advantage. A peaceful protest in front of a government building following all laws makes it harder to justify breaking up, especially breaking up violently. It's a PR game just as much as it's a social action game. To be clear, though, this doesn't cover every instance, but there are times where following the rules to the letter is beneficial...just not always.
