[Editor's Note: Last month, Lindsy was arrested for protesting the two-year prison sentence of fellow environmental activist Tim DeChristopher (pictured below) for his own act of environmental protest: bidding on oil and gas leases on federal land, which he had no means to pay for.
Lindsy's first-person account of participating in the protest and her reasons behind it is one of the most vivid posts I've read this past month. -- Julie
We decided to move into the street. I was outraged that my friend was going to prison for doing what was morally and ethically right. I was outraged that his trial was so unjust. I was outraged that Judge Benson and the U.S. District Attorney's office could be so adamant in the desire to deter others from following in Tim's footsteps.

Have you ever been arrested for an act of civil disobedience? Would you?
