In relation to the Democracy Files (or maybe not though I doubt it) I thought of the group who was teaching people to get into juries so they can nullify. Freedom Fighters. Erica Chenoweth supplies the whole group much of the empirical backbone of the project. She is the co-author with Stephan of the 2011 book Why Civil Resistance Works, and she helped quantify patterns across hundreds of campaigns from 1900 onward that showed nonviolent efforts succeeding roughly twice as often as violent ones, largely because they drew broader participation and triggered defections from security forces, civil servants, businesses, and other pillars that sustain authority. Her research has examined successful cases such as Serbia’s Otpor movement (a group I think these people are working with), which contributed to the ouster of Slobodan Milošević through sustained nonviolent pressure and institutional defections. Her findings and datasets still continue to inform training materials which we have known about since like 2021 and is used by groups now applying the framework inside the United States in the Democracy Files. Reiff and Zeitz’s August newsletter recommends Freedom Trainers’ election-defense scenarios, training materials, and a workbook for responding to designated “red lines” through organized noncooperation. The same newsletter reports the July meeting that studied Brazil’s situation room. In that room were groups with ties to the CCP. My question is how a campaign moves from opposing a policy, to organizing institutional noncooperation, to claiming authority to reconstruct the entire governing system in America?
