Democracy hangs in the balance this year — not just in the United States, but around the world, where a record number of people are heading to the polls in more than 60 countries. At Waging Nonviolence, we have a unique and important role to play in dangerous times like these. In 2020, we published a series of viral stories that gave concerned citizens the tools to thwart an attempted coup by Trump. Their success led to the launch of a national organizing effort called Choose Democracy, which trained over 10,000 people ahead of that year’s election.

This year, we are once again teaming up with Choose Democracy to provide resources on how to stem the rising authoritarian tide. This page is a collection of those resources, divided into sections highlighting: conversations with experienced organizers and movement thinkers, original reporting and analysis from the frontlines of the democracy struggle, a look back at our 2020 coverage and more from WNV‘s archives.
