Political scientist Erica Chenoweth discovered that nonviolent movements that mobilize 3.5% of a population consistently bring about significant change. 👈👆 this right here. Note, the keyword 'consistently' that is important because that's what we'll have to do. June 14th was a success. But we must continue the trend. We can not say well, June 14th was good. Now we sit and do nothing. No. We have to make it not only a June success democracy summer, we have to make it a Fall 🍂, winter 🌬 and spring 🌸 democracy ! And just like the author said, keep writing ✍️ to your elected officials in office. It is important we don't let up. 🗽🇺🇸💙

We need to keep doing is every 2 weeks like clockwork. Sustain the 3.5% over time will cause the changes we want.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Don’t stop ! Because it will get worse, the government will lash out further.

Another village that represented in Michigan is Pentwater. Same size as Pentland in the UP. Glad to see the citizens marching no matter the name!

18,000-20,000 in Tucson, AZ attended. Since non profits are now being accused of the riots, it is our responsibility to continue showing otherwise. We resist for free!

We had a lively couple thousand people in Vancouver, WA peacefully, enthusiastically chanting, carrying signs, interacting with each other with the intention to collectively remind everyone that the President SERVES the people, we are free Americans - NOT anyone’s subjects.

We need to contrite 3.5% of the population.
