They are already trying to grab power during this election. They can try to steal elections, refuse to seat duly elected officials, and break things they never intended to fix. The question isn't whether to fight. It's which fight is yours, because the strongest thing you can do is the thing that actually fits what you've got, where you are, and who you are.
Name what you're planning against. Answer nine quick questions to find your fight. Then build a real plan across the timeline: this summer, this fall, the election, the certification window, and into January. Honest, not aspirational. About seven minutes.
First, name it
What are you planning against?
Be specific. The strongest plan is built against a real threat, not a vague one. Pick what you're actually building to stop. Pick more than one if you're planning for more than one.

One step before you plan
Get your planning tool.
We'll use this to send you your plan and nothing else without your say-so. You decide at the end whether to share it with anyone.
Now put it on a timeline
Plan your
We plan backwards across four phases: Ensure people can vote, Win the election, Prove the win, Enforce it. Start from where this has to land, work back to what you do this month.
Before you act.
Direct action and rapid response carry real risk. These aren't required, but every one you can honestly check is one less thing to figure out in a hard moment.
Pressure-test your plan
Does it do the work?
A plan that only does one of these is fragile. The strongest plans do at least two of the four.
Pick at least 2
What will it build?
Policy wins are rare and hard. This is the scoreboard we actually control. Even if you don't win the fight itself, a strong plan moves at least one of these.
Unity — more alignment among people and groups who weren't aligned before.
Mobilizing capacity — more ability to move people to action, fast and at scale.
Participation — more people in the fight who weren't in it before.
Better coalitions — stronger, broader, more durable alliances.
Pick at least 1
Did the line hold?
Name the line. Plan for what you do if they cross it anyway. Without this, "win" is a feeling. With it, "win" is a thing you can see.
Write at least one line

Keep it to myself. Email me my copy and don't share it with anyone. Nothing is stored.
Keep it to myself, but add me to the Experiments4Good list. Just my contact and which fight I picked, so I stay in the loop. My plan is not stored.
Keep it and share it with Experiments4Good, Project Nexus, and Freedom Trainers, so they can see what I'm building and offer support.
I'd like to be contacted about trainings and other opportunities to get in the fight.
You keep your own copy either way. Sharing is off unless you choose it.
