As long as everyone is consenting, protest loudly and proudly. Never trap bystanders or intimidate them simply for existing. Also don't involve children or pets. have fun!
Edit to be clear, bystanders just passing by are not "trapped". Witnessing or needing to move around a protest is not trapped.
Being stuck with cars behind you and angry protesters ahead of you can mean you are trapped, and are not consenting.
I really hope they're calling for divestments. I love the sentiment of "We demand a free Palestine" but unfortunately won't accomplish much as realistically that's unattainable from their current situation.
Protesting for university and highschool divestments from Israel/those involved is a much better use of their power in a way that can make long-term strides towards a truly freev Palestine / non terroristic Israel.
I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.
Honestly, I doubt those affect things very much. I think I have seen decent stuff maybe once or if every 20 times I walk by a little free library. I am generally looking for a specific book when going to the library or getting an ebook from there.
