What happens in this story4 scenarios
The bridge stretches ahead and the troopers are lined up on the other side. You link arms with the person next to you and take the first step toward a wall of shields.
What started with the bridge just got more complicated. Now you need to apply the principles of nonviolent resistance to contemporary justice issues — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Connecting historical civil rights decisions to injustices that still exist today — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to apply the principles of nonviolent resistance to contemporary justice issues not just today, but every time this situation returns.
