Contrary to popular belief: Going to a protest isn’t the only way to show your dislike. Protesters are the front line.

The back line is support. First aid people. Armed citizens acting as guards. Legal observators. Saboteurs. Tech people to amplify the message. All of these are not at a protest, but assembled through online groups and community events.

Granted, you’ll also see them staged at protests too, but you don’t have to go to one.

You need both lines, and there’s a lot of roles out there.
