A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs

by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood.

Henry David Thoreau

by following the laws that the majority agree upon

by engaging in violent conflict when necessary
by protesting as a group in a nonviolent way

by ensuring that just people are not imprisoned
