The Protest Plan
We cannot wait until 2020. We must start now to #DefendDemocracy. Trump is increasing his vicious attacks on democracy. Trump accused Muller and his team of treason for bringing Trump’s crimes to light. And Trump’s efforts to try and imprison his opponents has already started. AG William Barr said he is opening an investigation about FBI spying on the Trump campaign.

The Objectives
This protest plan is based on your feedback. The objective of the protest plan is to unite everyone ‘s efforts to #DefendDemocracy.

Corporate America and Billionaires are big supporters of Trump and the Republicans. We will boycott Corporate America until they will realize it’s better for them to #DefendDemocracy than to support Trump and his enablers.
Many “Local” Politicians including our governors & DC representatives have done little to #DefendDemocracy. But they will soon find it’s more pleasant to to #DefendDemocracy than to sit back and do nothing.
Senators and Republican Members of Congress are a mystery. They defend Trump even when it’s obvious Trump colluded with Russia and has already undermined democracy. Massive nationwide and continuous protests are planned to make them understand they must #DefendDemocracy.

The Plan:
There are four parts (Stages) to the plan:

Part 1: Boycotts. Beginning April 22, we curtail all discretionary purchases. We buy only necessities while yet supporting all local businesses. In addition, we boycott certain targeted companies who support Trump’s power grab. (see details under a separate tab).

Part 2: Coordinated Local Protests. Beginning May 1, we begin coordinated local protests. These actions include individual efforts such as phone calls , letters and local ” group visits” to politicians’ offices. We received numerous suggestions which we are incorporating into these plans. We’ll be telling politicians know “If we don’t see active and visible help addressing our issues, we’ll be protesting at your offices until we are vote you out.”

Part 3: Nationwide Protests. Local groups will control the daily and weekly events in their areas. Beginning on June 3, we will have Nationwide Protests. The 6/3/19 protest will be frequently followed by other protests. We are asking the Advocacy Group, “Nobodies Above the Law”, to coordinate with other Advocacy groups to make this happen. Report For Political Action will provide assistance.
Nationwide Protest 6/3/19 . We believe it’s appropriate to begin the “kick-off” Nationwide Protests on Monday 6/3/19. This is the two year anniversary of both the arrest Reality Winner and the first #MarchForTruth protest. Call your friends and register a protest event with @Indivisible at this Indivisible Event Registration link. Use Defend Democracy as the event name. Sign this linked MoveOn Petition asking Congress to join in the 6/3/19 protest against Trump’s power grab.

Part 4 – Nationwide Strike
Hopefully a nationwide strike will not be necessary. But many have already suggested we should undertake a 10-day long National Strike, coupled with marches and legal sit-ins. If Trump arrests his political opponents or reporters, shuts down news media, or takes control of social media , it is likely a Nationwide Strike would take placce.

When the political systems have failed, people took to the streets until their issues were addressed. Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and others showed what to do and how to wield the power of protest to restore our government. And we must do what it takes to save democracy.
