We keep standing, we keep walking (using sticks if needed), running if required or advisable, loud voices are useful, and news can be passed person to person if necessary (as it used to be). I gather the postal service still operates, after a fashion, and a letter is cheaper than a rail ticket. Phone calls - don't trust a landline, particularly if it clicks before the call connects. Smartphones.....well, tech is improving, and it's possible that even the police and other bodies I hesitate to mention might have caught up with it by now, so just be careful how you word things. Carrier pigeons? Do you know any pigeon fanciers? Since conditions vary from place to place, and police attitudes likewise, assume the worst unless very up to date with the situation. Assess your bravery in advance, i.e. consider T shirt logo/message, any medical condition you have, willingness to be arrested, fine/bail/prison limits, consequences to dependents (if any), risk of physical violence/injury, personal approach to direct action, non violence, limits on property, buildings etc. Tell someone you trust absolutely where you are going. I think that covers most of it. Good luck.

All our memories are analogue…we remember nothing of our time spent online. A whole series of generations is emerging with little to reflect on.
