I/we just finished Non-cooperation training 101 with Freedom Trainers (online) Wonderful!

This group really knows what they are doing. They started 1-year ago and have trained over 400,000 people so far!
It is free and they will keep doing it with more and more advanced levels. There was over 500 people on the zoom tonight.

Learning what works to win over authoritarianism is important. We all can do something, however small or large, which is empowering.

Politicians compromise. We pay the price.

We stop it or it stops us.

No compromise.

They have a playbook, and are acting it out daily. We know it because it hsppened before.
