Pushback 41
Welcome to day two of the new format. Thanks for all the nice feedback. Please note that just because a tactic is listed doesn't mean it works or I agree with it. I'm looking at you, Gavin Newsom. For now, I am sticking to sharing non-violent actions only, so sabotage that's happening out there won't appear here.
The topics are listed according to the type of action and actor as described in this post. "Democrats" are elected officials, government agencies, unions, and non-profits.
