I get the idea, and applaud the principle. However, it is also a demonstration of your relative economic privilege that you can afford to make such a decision. Something to keep in mind as you signal not just a virtue, but a privilege in the same action.

The goal is to chill and tax the right to protest. 'You can beat the charges but you can't beat the ride'. You still get detained, lose your job, pay a lawyer, get rough handled... 30 days with pending charges can be hell even if you dodge being sentenced to 'real' time.

We are going to need to start taking those risks. How long do you play it safe at a mission driven agency that has abandoned the mission? I know it's hard when you have to put dinner on the table, but unions around the country should be supporting any fed walkout that does occur, 'strike' or not.
