Take Action!
Defeating authoritarianism and restoring democracy requires us to take collective action that resists the MAGA regime and strengthens democratic institutions.
Mass x Velocity = Momentum
PROTESTS MATTER
-
They provide a new narrative that challenges the autocracy.
-
They demonstrate that opposition to the actions of the government is widespread and legitimate and they give social permission to others to join.
-
They help us affirm our rights by exercising them.
-
They lay the foundation for other forms of action like economic boycotts and strikes.
-
They create opportunities for people to cooperate and they combat isolation and despair.
-
They generate feelings of solidarity.
-
They impact voter turnout and electoral outcomes.
BUT PROTESTS ARE NOT ENOUGH
Defeating authoritarianism and restoring democracy will require a wide range of tactics that weaken the regime and rebuild the rule of law.
