what we say: pacifist
what we do: organize resistance, make shields, educate, repair, uplift
what we mean: sometimes the least violent act requires the use of intentional force by a peaceful individual

labeling pacifists as ineffective cowards is a stigma we'd appreciate being left out of.

Pacifism is a nuanced, intentionally peaceful path.

Attacking pacifism, labeling it ineffective or worthless, is antithetical to solidarity, and doing the fascist's work for them.

Pacifists fight fires.
Pacifists bind wounds.
Pacifists repair vehicles, tools, and infrastructure.
Pacifists set up tents and link arms against police incursions.
Pacifists get beaten and thrown in jail or worse.

Pacifists persist.
