On a brutally cold morning last December, shortly before I was arrested for the first time, a hundred of us gathered beside the National Mall in Washington, D.C. I came from campus in the dark with a couple of friends. As others congregated on the grass, we made awkward introductions. It was an eclectic bunch: teachers, tech workers, lawyers, tradespeople, students and full-time activists, some of whom I recognized from past demonstrations.

When we reached a critical mass, Maxwell Downing, an organizer with Climate Defiance, split us up by risk level.
