These are good to start, but there needs to be an Underground version of communication and organization; Because you never know who's not on our side of this fight.

Agree, I'm trying to work with artists in spreading the word, art might not be the answer, but I believe it can help https://www.instagram.com/publicinterestarts/

We need to revive the paper zine, which combines politics, art, resistance, and guidance on action for individuals/communities nationwide.

Separately, everyone should start flying flags from Mexico, Central America, and South America on lawns, windows, lawn signs, car magnets, etc...

Just want to point out what was behind the Poland solidarity success. Poles were always “religious” during the Russian occupation as it was a smack in the face to the Russians then.

College students would show up to church no matter how hung over they were!

The church was central to organizing. It was organic, “natural”…..

All of these actions sound solid. Please identify any existing organizations you know of that are currently undertaking efforts to enact these strategies. Political Revolution may be one, but I am sure there are others. While I would love to help such an organization make your ideas a reality, I do not feel prepared to initiate any of them.

Your essay is excellent. I dedicated my substack, with the idea that we need to 'use' institutions to appeal to people in the middle. Business, Media, Academia and Faith. I believe that there is still room to appeal to the first 3. Faith leaders have been speaking out, including members of faith institutions. https://open.substack.com/pub/ralphrosenberg/p/the-leadership-test-whos-speaking?r=9e9e3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
