When environmental activist teams struggle with transparency about civil disobedience risks

My organizing team has been planning a forest defense action and we keep cycling through the same conversation about whether to tell people it might involve arrest. Some of us think transparency is essential for informed consent, others worry it will scare people away when we need numbers, and we can't seem to land anywhere that feels right to everyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that their different relationships to risk and consent are making it impossible to find an approach that honors everyone's values about how to involve others in potentially dangerous action.
