His strategy was not one of protesting in a way that followed the rules, located where the government or police say it is appropriate to demonstrate.
It was not a submission to authority. Rather, he preached that willfully disobeying unjust laws through nonviolent means is the way to enact change.

Until we’re all free, none of us are free.

His legacy of civil disobedience has been co-opted into the compliance of free speech zones and permitted protests. He knew that to achieve our goals, mass mobilization and the willingness to throw ourselves in the way of the oppressive state is needed.

β€œAn individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.”

5 years after the J6 attack on the Capitol, the threat to American democracy hasn't faded, it's grown more dangerous. Political violence has surged, trust in democratic institutions has plummeted to historic lows, and leading democracy experts now classify the U.S. as an "electoral autocracy."

 a poster for our concert that has the name of the band across the top, the title of the concert "Hard Hitting Songs For Hard Hit People". The next line says "Listen and learn about protest music across history today" Then there's three skeletons playing various instruments. Below that there's the concert information, Saturday October 25th at 10:30 am at the Canyon Theater in the Boulder Public Library, 1000 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO.
All ages welcome, but be advised we will not shy away from historical context or censor language in any songs.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney β€” no matter your citizenship or immigration status."
