The United States faces authoritarian consolidation, already underway, with structural advantages built into the system that make reversing it difficult through conventional politics. This book came out of eighteen months of research, more than one hundred interviews with scholars and activists, and systematic analysis of what works when democratic institutions fail. It is built on Erica Chenoweth's research on civil resistance, Gene Sharp's 198 methods of nonviolent action and Karl Weick's work on small wins, organized around a four-stage method: Educate, Activate, Recruit, Repeat. The tactics in each chapter can be carried out by one person in under two hours, with no special expertise and no organization behind them.
