Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate your committment, and that you announce it.
Fwiw, my immediate reaction is that this type of protest might be a little too soon and it will cause more ridicule and backlash because the general public’s and newsmedia’s impression is that there is currently no immediate danger. Would be interested in learning more about the timing considerations. Like, I’d imagine that doing this barricading in the aftermath of some concrete harm happening would make favorable reporting for newsmedia much more likely, and then you could steer the discourse towards future and greater harms.
