I, for one, have never advocated passive anything. We must never sumbit to such laws. And I think our resistance must be *active* and provocative!

If you ignore them, they will just ignore you.

“The function of civil resistance is to provoke a response and we will continue to provoke until they respond or change the law. They are not in control; we are.”

Action expresses priorities.
Mahatma Gandhi

Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Mahatma Gandhi

I care so deeply about this matter that I’m willing to take on the legal penalties, to sit in this prison cell, to sacrifice my freedom, in order to show you how deeply I care. Because when you see the depth of my concern, and how civil I am in going about this, you’re bound to change your mind about me, to abandon your rigid, unjust position, and to let me help you see the truth of my cause.
Mahatma Gandhi

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

A fear of jail is nothing but cowardice. Dont be afraid to be free.

“Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.”
