| 説明 | IMPORTANT NOTE:Freeway blockades are a power but dangerous tactic and need careful planning and messaging. DO NOT TREAT LIGHTLY. Best to have at least one vehicle per lane and banner/blockade to stretch entire width of road, including shoulder. Vehicles line up (side by side) and slow down gradually together at a planned and scouted location It may be possible to use the police tactic of slowly swerving left and right IF you can do so safely, in sync with other blockade vehicles. Best scenario is to have two cars per lane so that the rear line of cars stay at front of stopped traffic, are friendly and nearest the banner after front row of vehicles drive away after banner is deployed. Banner team/blockaders should be in one or more of the front row of vehicles and exit with the banner. (Practice this many times before attempting.) U-Locks around neck to banner pole can lengthen time of blockade and give negotiating power. Signage and communication with media can give context to the frustrated travelers - many of whom might sympathize with the cause, but are under normal pressures we all can relate to.AGAIN: Vehicles and people can be deadly - so be sure that there is plenty of support for de-escalating drivers and cops. DO NOT carry any weapons, pocket knives, drugs, etc. Designate a police liaison and have no one else speak to the police. Blockaders should not have to speak with public. Have "charm squad" /de-escalation crew do that. Express sympathy, etc. Have a plan for emergency vehicles. Make sure supporters with clear messaging can be seen at the overpass near the planned spot and it's even better if there's access to freeway so pedestrian supporters can join the blockade. Be very, VERY careful and take care of each other. DO NOT ever try a tactic like this without adequate support and preparation.Another example is the Motown Slowdown from whom we learned about this tactic. www.clickondetroit.com/news/protesters-block-southbound-i... |
