Lots of resources including the 198 Methods of Nonviolent Resistance. Free on the Albert Einstein Institution page. He was a peace studies prof here at UH Manoa and wrote some very useful and practical instructions for this kind of situation.

The Albert Einstein Institution works to advance the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action. Our work on this topic has been translated into dozens of languages. Visit our online library to access all currently available digital resources.

I can't copy the text because it's a pdf but this is a valuable resource. Good luck to all of us.
