Without going into too much detail I’ll be participating in a strike action tomorrow related to the college encampments from the past month. While I’m excited to be a part of on the ground action, my anxiety over confrontation is flaring up quite a bit. Especially with there being such a big Zionist presence in my city, I’m worried about not just the police, but reactionaries coming to pick a fight. And while organizers say the likelihood of this is low, it’s something that will always be on the back of my mind. Is there any advice for overcoming these fears and making the most out of tomorrow?

    You shall persevere.

    Frankly, your fear magnifies the threat thrice over.

    Just remember that.

      Word. Apparently like 70% of the fashy af US wants an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. Fear is legit and valid, these things can have violence, but most of the time even if Zionists round up collaborators from the region, you're going to massively outnumber them.

        Yeah, many Americans want a ceasefire; no one is alone in this regard.

      Definitely overestimated the threat at this action. The most that happened were some zionists chirping about freeing the hostages from the comfort of their vehicles. Thankful for the advice in this thread though.
