Overcoming fear of reactionary violence (hexbear.net)

Without going into too much detail I’ll be participating in a strike action tomorrow related to the college encampments from the past month. While I’m excited to be a part of on the ground action, my anxiety over confrontation is flaring up quite a bit. Especially with there being such a big Zionist presence in my city, I’m worried about not just the police, but reactionaries coming to pick a fight. And while organizers say the likelihood of this is low, it’s something that will always be on the back of my mind. Is there any advice for overcoming these fears and making the most out of tomorrow?

Definitely overestimated the threat at this action. The most that happened were some zionists chirping about freeing the hostages from the comfort of their vehicles. Thankful for the advice in this thread though.
