I know how this works.
When the buses start coming in, it’s paid.
When the signs are already made, it was decided in a meeting room.
The money has to get cleared first. That’s how it’s done.

I did this professionally.
I knew how to pressure companies.
I knew how to bring attention to my union—and how to bring attention to the people I was targeting.I was good at it. I won awards for it.
My picture was on a wall in Midtown Manhattan.
When I ran rallies, cops knew me.
They knew I didn’t start trouble—and I never did.That didn’t make me weak.
It made me smart.Risk versus reward.
A police officer was never a reward worth the risk.I was taught by one of the best organizers in New York City.
What I’m seeing now out on the streets?
Paid protesting. Same playbook.They’re just doing one thing I never did.
Attacking police isn’t smart.
This isn’t theory.
This is how it’s done—
from someone who did it.”
