00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.000
7 principles for our movements

2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.800
Respect the diversity of tactics.

3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.200
Accepting a single tactic
denies the possibility

4
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.700
of collaboration and coordination of

5
00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:15.500
peaceful and militant,

6
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.500
public and anonymous,

7
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:19.800
legal and illegal tactics,

8
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.600
that have determined the success
of most struggles and revolutions.

9
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.900
Let people riot.

10
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:31.200
Each person finds their own way
to fight oppression.

11
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:36.200
All are valid when their target

12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.900
are the structures of oppression
or those who defend them.

13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.900
Don't snitch!

14
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:48.300
The police are not our allies.

15
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:53.200
And we refuse to cooperate with the
criminalization of anyone and our movements

16
00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:57.700
Don't denounce other protesters
in public statements.

17
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:00.800
While we can discuss and
disagree among ourselves,

18
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:04.600
propagating the idea of a good
or bad protester in public criticism

19
00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:07.300
reinforces the criminalization
of part of the struggle.

20
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:13.500
Refuse to cooperate with politicians
in criminalizing parts of our movements.

21
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:20.600
Defining what is acceptable
or not in a protest

22
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.200
based on laws that protect private property

23
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.100
and the state's monopoly
on the use of force,

24
00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:28.100
reinforces arguments that
criminalize those who riot

25
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:29.800
or defend themselves

26
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:32.200
and endorses the idea that police violence
may be justifiable and deserved.

27
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.800
Avoid spreading images that
can be used by the police

28
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.600
to identify and criminalize protesters.

29
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:43.300
Don't leave anyone behind.

30
00:01:43.300 --> 00:01:47.000
Don't leave anyone behind when the
police begin to crack down and arrest.

31
00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:51.800
This is ableist and puts people at risk.

32
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.000
Defend each other.

33
00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:56.600
It is by understanding and
respecting other forms of resistance

34
00:01:56.600 --> 00:01:58.600
that we move forward.

35
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:03.900
We will not allow the system we fight against
to pit us against each other.

36
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.100
People are more important than property.

37
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:17.200
There are no bad protesters,
there are no good cops.
