The political landscape is changing, and we have to continue to change with it.
In the past, we've been able to lean directly on the power of the ballot box and the pressure we, as constituents, can bring to bear on our elected representatives. Whether it was saving the Affordable Care Act or kicking Trump out of office in 2020, we've proven that organizing on a local level to drive progress works -- and that is still true.
But the pressing threat of authoritarianism means that we have to include new strategies to protect the future of our democracy and our people.
And that is why we are launching One Million Rising: a campaign to train one million people in the art of strategic non-cooperation to fight authoritarianism.
