What would make a good Black Friday action?
Don't buy anything
Don't buy from X, Y, or Z
Shop local, shop small, shop well.
Tactics follow from strategy which follow from goals.

Adding #CourageCollective to #OneMillionRising shifts us from naïve toward informed action.
Step one trained hundreds of thousands on the basics.
Now we level up:
deeper organizing within specific pillars to build power and noncooperation—together.

You don’t have to agree with the regime to be part of a pillar. Pillars are the systems power depends on:
schools, businesses, media, health care, labor.
Authoritarians need them to function.
When we withdraw consent or cooperation, the roof starts to shake. #OneMillionRising #CourageCollective
If you studied or worked at a college, you’re part of the Education Pillar.
Support it: uplift students, back faculty, urge administrators to defend academic freedom, & rally alumni to speak out.
Live near a campus? You can participate as a community member.

Courage is contagious
Courage Collectives unite people inside the pillars of support
(business, faith, media, labor, education, vets, ...)
to refuse cooperation with authoritarian power
—move our institutions to defend democracy

I also never considered myself as in a “pillar” since Chenoweth recommends loyalty shifts among pillars of support. I have no loyalty to this regime (or any regime). So I thought I wasnt in a pillar but Indivisible’s Courage Collective is premised on the idea we are all in pillars #CourageCollective
