The COVID-19 Delta variant is on the rise across the United States. Every year, our organization, Pace e Bene<\/a>, coordinates the Campaign Nonviolence Action Week (Sept. 18-26<\/a>). During this week, tens of thousands of people will take action for peace and a culture of active nonviolence, free from war, poverty, racism and environmental destruction. Everyone is welcome to join in. Over 3,300 actions and events are already in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want everyone to stay safe as the pandemic gears up for Season 2. Dispersed actions is how we\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rise of the Delta variant doesn\u2019t mean we have to cancel our plans \u2014 indeed, it heightens all the crises and social injustices that we\u2019re organizing to stop \u2014 but it does mean that we need to take precautions to be smart and safe. Protecting your health and others\u2019 is in keeping with the Campaign Nonviolence approach of practicing \u201cnonviolence toward yourself, one another and the whole world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dispersed actions have been used for hundreds of years in campaigns around the world. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, what can we still do? Fortunately, there are over 300 methods of nonviolent action. (You can find a full list on Nonviolence International\u2019s website here<\/a>.) In nonviolent struggle, there are different categories of nonviolent methods. \u201cConcentrated actions\u201d require us to bring our physical bodies to a certain place \u2014 like a mass demonstration, blockade or sit-in. \u201cDispersed actions,\u201d on the other hand, can take place when we\u2019re scattered (or hunkered down during a pandemic). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dispersed actions \u2014 like a boycott, a call-in-sick, or strike \u2014 have been used for hundreds of years in campaigns around the world. They keep people safe when repression is high. For example, during Pinochet\u2019s dictatorial regime, Chileans banged pots and pans from their windows, holding the protest where the police couldn\u2019t get them. During Sudan\u2019s 2019 nonviolent revolution, organizers chose to empty the streets (instead of filling them) after a police massacre in an effort to keep people safe. Amidst the 2020 pandemic lockdowns, people held mass sing-alongs from apartment balconies, held nightly \u201cclap for caregiver\u201d demonstrations, wore hazmat suits to parliament blockades, put sculptures in parks to protest instead of live humans, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the uncertainty around the Delta variant, it makes sense to have a back-up plan for your Action Week ideas. Here are some suggestions to get your creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go digital<\/strong>: Wherever it makes sense, move your meetings, trainings and prayer services online. You can also coordinate a social media effort to post messages of peace and nonviolence, or change banners or profile pictures. Plan a Zoom meeting where each person brings a letter of your protest message and take a screenshot (find a handy how-to guide here<\/a>). Organize a Twitter storm on a particular issue, using hashtags and @(insertyourpoliticianhere) to deliver the message. (Don\u2019t forget to use #CNV2021 so we can support you!) Have people take selfies with protest messages and circulate them online (like Siberians did<\/a> to stop Arctic pollution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social distancing = big banners<\/strong>: Paint eight-foot wide banners and hold the corners. That\u2019s putting social distancing to good purpose! You can also plan a socially distanced action with masks. Paint your masks with peace signs and plan to spread out along an entire street rather than cluster on one corner. One way to have a big, safe impact is by gathering two to three friends and dropping an overpass banner over a freeway that will be seen by hundreds of commuters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go into stealth mode<\/strong>: A little secrecy can be fun, right? If you\u2019re trying to avoid the crowds, craft stealth actions and use an element of surprise. Paint your slogans and protest messages on rocks, and leave them in places where others will see them (like students did during March For Our Lives<\/a>). Go out under the streetlights and sidewalk chalk your neighborhood with nonviolence quotes. Use wheat-paste to put up social justice posters on telephone poles (like pipeline resisters did to oppose Enbridge Line 3<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mutual aid<\/strong>: Mutual aid networks are how we help one another break free of poverty and <\/em>classism. Distinct from charity, mutual aid networks are based on mutual respect and common cause. There are over 400 in the United States and they are constantly helping families stay in their homes, put food on the table, keep the lights turned on and so forth. Find a project near you<\/a> and ask all your friends to support mutual aid during Action Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sculptural stand-ins<\/strong>: Your physical body isn\u2019t the only thing that can make a protest statement. Use art and sculpture to put a pandemic-safe statement into the streets. In Turkey, climate activists used life-sized sculptures<\/a> to hold signs. In Norway, snowmen blockaded<\/a> government offices. The #NoKidsInCages sculpture<\/a> galvanized the movement to stop migrant family separations. In England, a herd of sculpted elephants<\/a> shut down London to demand increased conservation efforts. Australian Indigenous artists made a reclaimed plastic whale<\/a> that\u2019s now touring the world to oppose plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posters and signs<\/strong>: Put signs and posters up in windows, church lawns, or schoolyards. Make a portrait or photo display in a public space to humanize those impacted by injustice (like Detroiters did with a pandemic memorial<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car caravans, motorcades and more<\/strong>: It\u2019s no secret that the United States is car-addicted. But, you can use that to your advantage. Plan a car caravan or motorcade with protest messages painted on windows or posters taped to them. You could also use a \u201cmotor vehicle slow down\u201d and drive really slowly to raise awareness of your issue.
These are just some of the many ways you can prepare for a Delta variant-safe Action Week. We want you to take action for a culture of peace and active nonviolence. And, we want you to be as safe as you can while you do it. You can find more ideas for Campaign Nonviolence Action Week, Sept. 18-26, here<\/a>. Most can be adapted for changing public health conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
