How we think and talk about the possibility of a coup matters. Here are the 10 things we think you should know as we prepare for the possibility of an undemocratic power grab.
Everyone has a role to play in defending our democracy. The Hold the Line guide is a step-by-step handbook on how to prepare and what to do in case attempts are made to subvert the election results.
“How to Beat an Election-Related Power Grab” is a two-session national workshop led by George Lakey, with Zein Nakhoda. The workshop will share the most important things to know and practice in order to be ready in the event of a coup. Register for the workshop on October 1st & 6th here.
A group of election experts ran multiple scenarios on possible disrupted Presidential elections. Their conclusion? “A show of numbers in the streets — and actions in the streets — may be decisive factors.”
Are you committed to defending democracy? Can you afford to put some money behind that commitment?
This fall, we’re helping regular people all across the country get ready to take to the streets if it becomes necessary after the November election. We’re collecting lessons from people who have stopped coups, tactical advice, and distributing handbooks and materials to prepare people.
But we need your help. Can you chip in to help us help everyone prepare?
