Is anyone working on something like this?
Right now, there are too many organizations vying for our resistance dollars. It is hard for me to decide where to put my dollars and energy.
To move forward successfully, we need a national conference to bring the major groups together and to begin mapping a strategy that will regain control of our country from the fascists who are seizing control of all elements of our government and social fabric.
Groups should organize to reclaim our Congressional and Senate seats, state legislatures, governorships, etc. We only have 3 years before the redistricting of Congressional districts takes place in the state legislatures following the 2020 US census!!
To involve the people in the non-coastal areas (Red States?) and as a sign of unity, I propose such a meeting take place near the Mean center of the United States population. St. Louis, MO may be the closest city with a large airport.
To resist the current coup in our government that aims to remove the past 80 years of political and social progress, we need a concerted and organized effort to get the job done. I propose a four-day meeting starting on June 30 and ending on July 4. Meetings should be held throughout the day with 30-60 minute prime-time presentations by nationally respected orators to be televised or broadcast on the internet. The last day should end with a longer program with a statement of principles and a plan for action. There should be lots of patriotic fervor throughout the meeting, reflecting on our history/struggles and extolling the greatness of our people.
And lots of music and fireworks on the last day to unify us!
Your thoughts?

(5 posts)I've been working on something like that. You can go to Integrative Activism to check out all the stuff I'm trying to do. Check out The People's Plan to Renew America.
Good luck with your efforts,

(768 posts)I will need to take some time to review what you have put together.
At one of my low points, I started to write down my dreams for a revision in the American government. I will be interested to see if you and I have similar ideas.
I wish I did not have to work so I could devote more time to doing something concrete about the mess we are in. I may need to retire soon to make that time!
