My own contribution to being civilly disobedient was at a small, but important, action at Ashton-under-Lyne, which included a picket of the job centre and of Avanta, a work programme company with offices in the town centre. I had brought my own leaflet, aimed at encouraging claimants to appeal against benefit sanctions, which I gave out to people going into the job centre. Meanwhile, a man with a megaphone denounced benefit sanctions and workfare from across the street, while a bunch of slightly worried-looking job centre staff peered through the window. They recently refused to let a claimant who has health issues take a friend in with him to an interview, to support him and make sure he didn't get set up for a sanction yet again. This indicates that the Ashton job centre has something of a bad attitude to claimants. Claimants have a right to be accompanied to interviews.
I do not intend to let my civil disobedience to begin and end with a picket, though. I have another leaflet which tells people how to manoeuvre their way round the rules so they can avoid being sanctioned in the first place, and I hope other people will take copies and share it through social media and any other way they like. The sickest thing about sanctions is that job centres seem to be targeting the people who are least likely to kick off, or to know where to get advice or how to appeal. That is, they target the weakest. But if only enough people who can will kick back, sanctions will become very much more difficult to carry out.
