What are OUR choices?
🔍 1. Crack the Majority
Even in one-party rule, not every lawmaker agrees with the President all the time. Some represent swing districts, moderate voters, or have personal lines they won’t cross.
🔥 They only need to hear from enough of us to grow a spine.
- Organize local phone/email campaigns targeting key senators and representatives.
- Protest in their home districts. Flood their town halls.
- Highlight their names. Make them choose: country or party?
📢 2. Mobilize Mass Resistance
Public pressure works. Always has.
The Women’s March. George Floyd protests. March for Our Lives. These weren’t just signs in the street—they changed the national conversation and held the powerful in check.
🧠 One voice echoes. A million voices disrupt.
- Organize nonviolent protests. Join national days of action.
- Show up in numbers that can’t be ignored.
- Make it loud, make it visual, and make it unrelenting.
⚖️ 3. Use the Courts & States as Shields
The federal government may be compromised, but state attorneys general, local judges, and state legislatures can still fight back.
- Support state lawsuits challenging unconstitutional actions.
- Elect AGs who will defend your rights, not corporate power.
- Push for state-level protections on voting, privacy, abortion, and more.
🛡️ Think nationally, but sue locally.
🗳️ 4. Flip It Back in the Midterms
Presidents only get two years before the entire House is up for re-election. That’s your window. Even one flipped chamber can stop a runaway agenda.
- Volunteer.
- Knock doors.
- Register voters.
- Focus on turnout in rural, young, and marginalized communities.
⚠️ Don’t wait for “someone else” to save us. It’s us.
🧰 5. Prepare for Peaceful Direct Action
If democratic channels fail, the people still have power.
- Organize sit-ins, walkouts, coordinated nonviolent protests.
- Disrupt business as usual when rights are stripped.
- Support legal defense funds for activists and protesters.
✊ They fear the people when the people stop playing by their rules.
💡 6. Control the Narrative
Propaganda can’t thrive when truth goes viral. Use your platforms, however small, to call it like it is.
- Share stories.
- Create content.
- Educate your friends.
- Challenge disinfo.
🖊️ Our silence helps them. Our words can stop them.
🧱 7. Build Community Power Now
We don’t just fight—we build. Build networks that:
- Share resources
- Provide mutual aid
- Offer emotional support
- Protect the vulnerable
💞 The stronger our community, the weaker their control.
