Read the Silent Vigil PDF on the AMPP tab. This was my plan for a protest in a dystopian nightmare version of NZ following a prescription drug overdose. I was in a depressive funk, so it's pretty tight logically speaking, though I've added a few addendums since that draft. 1. Handwritten notes are the best way to maintain secrecy. 2. Pick a particular combination of white and black for each protest to prevent infiltration. 3. Presence alone, without insignia or slogans, is probably legal in most countries. That's why it's a silent vigil. Watching the abuses of power. Watching the corruption. That's not illegal. At a certain mass, some friends reckon that it could change regimes. - Rest Up, Fight Back is an addendum in and of itself. People doing things silently was implied in the original document, but wasn't formalised. That's the result of my tactics from the initial vigils. Reading books, throwing frisbees, picnics, all silently. There'll be spokespeople to inform the media, but the rest of the protest should snub them entirely.
