A Guide To Help Save Democracy
Collectively Control & #ChangeTheNarrative *
​
​
​
​
​​​
-
Use the Truth Sandwich to refute lies and propaganda.
-
Move beyond Description to Prescription. Otherwise, we amplify & promote opposition's message, & build their momentum.
-
Post productive action we can take, with contact info. ​
-
Thank local, state, & federal officials when they publicly rebuke white supremacists, defend Democracy, & make policies that help Americans thrive.
​​
-
Bombard your** senators & representatives with clear, declarative, brief statements. I demand that you remove 45 from office. Otherwise, you are the domestic enemy you have sworn to protect us against.
-
Correct media every time headlines mislead or lie like NPR's: "January 20 is the day that Donald Trump is scheduled to leave office." Your headline should read: 'January 20 is when Joe Biden will become 46th president of the United States. Trump is not "scheduled" to leave. The law forces him to leave.
​​
-
Push the media to retrain itself to focus on the Biden presidency.
-
Post images & stories frequently of Biden, Harris, and their cabinet.
-
Do not post images/words of 45 or those who align themselves with him.
-
Post & amplify Joe Biden's presidency & policies to infuse them into the zeitgeist to #ChangeTheNarrative.
