Together we can make a difference.
Pillars of Society that Support Authoritarianism:
​Each time a pillar institution yields to or supports the regime, the regime grows stronger.
In contrast, noncooperation — refusing to do what is expected, disrupting the normal course of events, and withdrawing support from unjust or illegal policies — weakens the regime and creates cracks in its foundation of power.
​
Ask yourself:
-
What pillars am I part of?
-
How are those pillars upholding the regime?
-
In those pillars, what kind of defiance is already happening?
-
What could more look like?
-
-
Who are the key decision-makers in those pillars?
-
Who could we influence, pressure, or persuade to support more noncooperation?

Nonviolent Civil Change Needs Mass and Momentum
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts — and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
