When partners disagree about escalating environmental activism to civil disobedience

My partner and I have been doing climate activism together for three years but they want to escalate to civil disobedience and I'm scared about arrest records affecting my immigration status. We can't seem to find middle ground between my need for security and their conviction that we're running out of time for moderate action.
