PLEASE BE AWARE: We are planning a PEACEFUL, NONVIOLENT action. Whether it is one day or 4 weeks! What we are planning to do is going to push the rules. Some of us could be arrested. Some of us could be detained. IF THIS HAPPENS, please go quietly and peacefully with the officers. We can only control ourselves, let's hope the police can control themselves. But DO NOT fight them!
Charges in civil disobedience situations are often dropped, if you are even charged with anything. These charges rarely cause problems with your record over time. Resisting Arrest will only add more charges! Remember, however, you cannot bail yourself out of jail!! Have a good lawyer or friend's number written on your arm!
Most of the people arrested in NYC last week were out of custody within hours. We sincerely hope that the Detroit Police Department understands that we are fighting FOR them, too!

Never forget that DISSENT is a Right, it is Free Speech. We have the right to disagree and make that disagreement visible!
