There are many threads that call for some leader to appear and lead us, or ask what can we do in the face of a government that is not performing as we need it to perform.
Personally, I am a big fan of non-violent non-compliance with an unjust government.
Here are some ideas, and I am sure other people have their own.
(1) If you want to protest military involvement in unjust wars, hold a protest at a base. Chain yourself to a fence. Get arrested. Have friends take video of your protest and post that video on you-tube. If you can, get as many friends as you can to chain themselves to the fence. Always, always have people whose job is to document your activities and post them. They should not be with the group getting arrested.
(2) Go to a town hall meeting held by your representative with a couple of friends. Have them take video of you speaking out and getting tossed out or arrested for daring to speak. Put that video on You-tube. Again, don't do this alone. Get like minded friends to do it with you and others to document your protest.
(3) Hold your protest at important, strategic places. Government offices, media outlets. Your opponents know that silence is their best friend, so always have people assigned to document what your do.
(5) Take video of everything.
(6) Give your group a name, set up a site on the internet. Post a manifesto, and keep your videos there as well as putting them on You-tube and other social sites.
(7) If you have a little money, set yourself up as a pac or a non-profit and collect donations to fund protest activities. If a Church can do it, you can to.
(8) Expect to get arrested, but do not use violence.
(7) Expect to get beaten, but do not use violence back.
