Everyone who signs up will receive the recordings in a follow-up email.

The Democracy Playbook

Here are concrete actions that are continually updated are a tangible way to push back against abuses of power and create something better.

The Last Stand Of Corporate Democrats, Prof. Robert Reich

Trump has exposed the venality of corporate America, while large swaths of the working middle class struggle to make ends meet. …. Now, finally, the Democratic Party has an opportunity to once again become the party of working Americans, as it was under Franklin D. Roosevelt, rather than the party of corporate America. It is more urgent than at any time since the Great Depression that Democrats act on this opportunity.

A Spending Strike

“We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting [Trump] and the politicians who enable him. Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. [Avoid big purchases, buy local, precipitate more economic downturn before the November Midterm Elections].

Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way. …. Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.”
