Yes, a civic uprising, "shutting shit down." Other people have shown us how it's done, just a few months ago South Koreans demonstrated ceaselessly until their elected president who took it upon himself to declare martial law was finally removed from office. Read the Call to Conscience, Call to Act of RefuseFascism.org for why and how this can happen, IF we all throw in all we have now. There is no time to waste, it can become too late if fascism fully consolidates. Do read, sign if you agree, and share this powerful statement: RefuseFascism.org/act
One of the biggest barriers to organizing and mobilizing a National Nonviolent Civic uprising (NNCU) is the widespread mistaken (imho) assumption that we're not there yet,that people are not sufficiently bad off enough, therefore not angry enough to be willing to risk arrest and maybe (though almost impossible if enough are involved) a night or two in jail. So I decided it's long over due to write "ll Arguments for the Urgent Necessity and SURPRISING feasibility of a Nat'l Nonviolent Civic Uprising,"findable at tinyURL.com/NCUnow. I'd love feedback: Gary@GetCourageNow.org
IIRC in the era of Watergate/Vietnam, people were encouraged to drive with their headlights on to signal opposition to Nixon. Since headlight use is now routine, what about driving with flashers on to signal an emergency and solidarity?
This is great, and if I may I want to add to this list the numerous Empty Chair Town Halls that have happened in Republican-held House districts or Senate seats across the U.S. They began in early March and have continued, bringing people to not only highlight questions and issues they have that their rep is ignoring, but also getting people away from posting through it to meet each other and continue the work of pushing back. https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/03/07/organizers-hold-1st-congressional-district-town-hall-escanaba-without-rep-jack-bergman/?outputType=amp
