Distributed as in non centralized. Many people feel like there is nothing they can do to contribute to meaningful change, especially with how spread out Americans are, but surely there has got to be something.
Using the trend of blocking traffic as an example, I think a coordinated effort to not just block a highway in one city, but to block state routes and other arteries in many places would be more effective. Instead of one city having bad traffic for a day, it would be many towns and it would be harder to dismiss as a local problem if people across the states are engaging.
Eh? Corporate HQs are all in city centres, and the vast majority of people live in cities…
They are. And you’ll get arrested in 100% of them for doing this. Which is fine if that’s your goal, but go in with eyes open.
Sure, getting arrested is always a risk with civil disobedience. I’ve been to a few corporate and political party office sit-ins. Usually we’ve had one or two people (sometimes hundreds) volunteer to be arrested, and others leave before it gets to that point. How risky that is for the ones leaving early will depend a lot on how the authorities act in your jurisdiction though.
