Non violence should be the first action. Bit if non violence doesn't work then turn to other actions
there is a difference between non-violence and direct action.
you can heckle every single person that goes into a non-unionized starbucks. you can boycott chipotle. you can be in the way. action is not synonymous with violence.
the people in power would love if they could convince everyone they have to maintain the status quo or else they can get in trouble.
The advice has always been peaceful protests on some sanctioned plot of land that doesn't interrupt commerce. I'm surprised people have accepted that as an answer for so long. Our answer should be..."sorry, they're closed until they fix this shit" and do exactly the opposite of that advice.
yeah- the best stuff is always to just make it annoying enough to businesses that they would rather have a peaceful and just society than have to deal with 100 people lingering on the sidewalk outside their place of business.
