The guide is described in this way:
The authors of this guide are former congressional staffers who witnessed the rise of the Tea Party. We saw these activists take on a popular president with a mandate for change and a supermajority in Congress. We saw them organize locally and convince their own Members of Congress (MoCs) to reject President Obama's agenda.This guide focuses on four categories that everyday Americans can use to make their MoCs listen. They include:
We believe that protecting our values, our neighbors, and ourselves will require mounting a similar resistance to the Trump agenda - but a resistance built on the values of inclusion, tolerance, and fairness.
How grassroots advocacy worked to stop President Obama: We examine lessons from teh Tea Party's rise and recommend two key strategic components.
How your MoC thinks - reelection, reelection, reelection - and how to use that to save democracy.
Identify or organize your local group.
Four local advocacy tactics that actually work: Town Halls, Other local public events, district office visits, and coordinated calls.
If you have a passion for activism, check out this guide and start organizing!
Additionally, you can connect with this group on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
