I’m not sure what to do to get ready to defend our Democracy. Most of us DON’T know. This video gives some good idead from Tad Stoermer, an expert in Resistance movements.
The truth is, we’re in a dangerous but familiar place. The infrastructure that makes large-scale resistance possible—organization, leadership, direction—isn’t built yet. And it may not be built before it’s needed.
That’s where microresistance comes in.
Microresistance is the groundwork. It’s the quiet preparation, the local action, the intentional steps that create resilience before mass movements form. It’s how ordinary people prepare themselves—and each other—when there’s no official path to follow.In this video, we cover:
• Why you’re right to feel uncertain—and why that’s not a failure
• The three historical phases of resistance (protest → opposition → organized resistance)
• What practical steps you can take right now to get ready
• Why microresistance is the essential first phase of real change
• How small acts today strengthen collective action tomorrow ~Tad Stoermer
