We shut down the 405 for about 10 minutes last night. If that pisses you off, read the excerpt of this article by Spencer Whitney. (w/ @kendrick38 ) "Politely asking for change has never worked, and never will. History is evident of this. There’s a common thread whenever a protest happens that causes an inconvenience — whether it’s blocking traffic, occupying a public space, or hosting a rally in a major shopping district — that it’s targeting the wrong people...Drivers feel they shouldn’t be hindered by the actions of the protesters when they are just trying to get home, go to work, spend money, etc. Often the questions asked include: “Why not protest in a park?” “Why now?” and “What if an ambulance couldn’t get through the protest?” The questions were usually followed by complaints about causing more traffic and that “Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t have stood for this.”... It’s ironic to see so many people invoke King’s words about civil disobedience, but look down on and criticize the modern civil rights movements going on around the country. King did, in fact, lead a peaceful demonstration over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in an attempt to march to Alabama’s capital of Montgomery. The very nature of civil disobedience is to be disruptive and bring attention to the issues at hand. People seem more concerned with blocked traffic than people actually dying from what is being protested in the first place.

Blocking the Bay Bridge is, unfortunately, something to do when nothing else is working. Yes, it’s going to anger people, but it also makes other people ask “why?” and gets their attention.

Remember, Martin Luther King Jr. seemed “crazy” and radical for trying to effect change, until the activists won their fights and became icons of civil disobedience. Being inconvenienced is part of what it takes to see a shift in politics and breakthroughs of change." http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/An-inconvenient-truth-Protesting-for-change-6794008.php
