Consider that this has been the plan by America's enemies (since USSR fell); destroy America's greatest strength our economics. 1. Corrupt American government by infiltrating the Republican party 2. Undermine trust in America with rampant corruption and blatant hypocrisy 3. Attack America's Allies

Trump and his Big Lie cronies are plotting to do everything they can to undermine the midterms—but we're far from powerless. We're making sure every eligible voter gets to cast their ballot, every ballot is counted, and the results are honored. This is our strategy in 4 parts:
BUILD A MOVEMENT OF TRUSTED LOCAL MESSENGERS
Fighting disinformation & voting joyfully, visibly, & out in public.
WHY?
How we talk about the election matters. And the best person to push back against lies and misinformation is you.
THINK
Social media, what to say at the doors, & eventually Early Vote activations with No Kings.RESPOND IMMEDIATELY TO ELECTION THREATS.
WHY?
Attacks are already happening, but each time our movement responds loudly in press, social, and beyond, we wear out their energy and protect votes.
THINK
Joining rapid response actions - showing up in numbers at an election office, visibility brigades, hotline reporting, voter roll purge responseBANK THE EARLY VOTE. WHY? Massive turnout + early numbers = harder for the
other side to deny the results, with fewer chances near election day to cause trouble.
THINK: Checking your registration, getting your ID, voting early, and getting all your people to do the same.GET INFORMATION TO BE READY FOR MASS MOBILIZATION. WHY? THINK: If larger-scale sabotage happens, we'll flex the muscle we've built through No Kings and beyond to show up en masse. Massive numbers of peaceful protesters standing up to protect and defend the vote, around Election Day or beyond.
