Excerpt:
Women’s March chair member Linda Sarsour expressed several controversial claims to members of a mass civil disobedience training session on Wednesday in a Washington, D.C., church.
The training session was hosted by the Women’s March to prepare protesters for the “End Family Detention” demonstration.
Sarsour’s role was to inspire and mobilize the participants, who all had to sign an agreement acknowledging they were engaging in a “nonviolent act of civil disobedience,” what the form describes as “key tactic used to draw attention to unjust laws, nonviolently resist, and make movements’ demands impossible to ignore.”
