You have made a great point that nonviolence is effective for logical reasons, but I disagree that no one is making that argument. I tune into the Thursday discussions with Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg of Indivisible on Thursdays whenever I can, and they make this argument clearly and often.
Thx for pointing this out, Ellen. I've seen their discussions and they are terrific.
Indivisible is one of the many organizations in the prodemocracy coalition who are speaking up and out and taking action. One thing the Bulwark could do is to provide a clearinghouse on their site with links to all of these organizations so we subscribers can support them - learn about what they're doing, share that in your networks, and, if you can afford it, donate.
You should check out Indivisible's 1 Million Rising campaign and trainings. I joined my local neighborhood Indivisible group and it's been fantastic. Here's a link to our neighborhood website, all done by concerned neighbors: https://www.pdxdistrict2neighbors.org/

Along with Indivisible, these include:
- Democracy Docket (https://www.democracydocket.com)
- Protect Democracy who has a toolkit for countering authoritarianism (https://protectdemocracy.org/work/the-faithful-fight/?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=faithful_fight_campaign)
- Democracy Forward (https://democracyforward.org)
- Democracy Playbook 2025, evidence-based best practices for reversing democratic backsliding (https://www.brookings.edu/articles/democracy-playbook-2025/)
- Democracy Defenders (https://www.democracydefendersaction.org).
I'm sure there are more.
