This consortium provides regular briefing sessions where they present their latest research and new/revised messaging content that is subsequently distributed via updates to their Freedom Over Fascism toolkit, https://bit.ly/FreedomOverFascism.
The messaging framework detailed in that toolkit is by far the most effective methodology I've seen to package the billionaires are here to screw you message I've seen in my 35+ years of political activism.
At DemLabs, we try and take a current issue in the headlines and then connect it to the underlying cause. We do this within the newscycle (3-4 hours). The articles are meant to be read in 20 seconds with lots of graphics. Keep the title neutral so as to attract more readers. And share it through a mailing list, social media accounts and partners who re-publish it. The goal being to reach more people about what's going on and then point them towards the villain. There are over 2,200 articles on our site now. This is a recent one:
What’s in the Republican budget for you vs. billionaire MAGA donors?
Local news is incredibly important as a vehicle to focus attention away from more polarized, propagandized national political currents. A good source of information on hundreds of independent, often nonprofit, local news outlets can be found in this catalog: https://www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/journalism-directory
I am in my 70's. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are huge issues for Seniors. Include what billionaires are going to do to this in your focus. There are millions of us who rely on Social Security for our existence. SS, Medicare and Medicaid are NOT entitlements. We paid into these all our working lives and if Congress hadn't stolen a lot out of the fund we would be living on a lot more. Now the billionaires want to take even more, or all, of it!
This is just what we need. Republicans have been out messaging us for too long. If you aren't a subscriber you should sign up today.
According to their website: https://grassrootsconnector.substack.com/, they are a group of volunteer grassroots group leaders who are committed to amplifying the power and the voice of the grassroots.
They report on innovative grassroots projects and the latest research on voter contact strategies. They offer spaces for leaders to come together, share, and grow.
Excellent article, but it doesn't touch on strategies to countermand the Right Wing influence on the gaming community, the RightWing outreach to the Hispanic Community and RWPM at work on TikTok and other platforms such as podcasts.
While supporting Left Wing journalism like Courier News is important, this news does not reach the vast majority of Americans like Fox does. People have been listening to and believing lies for 40 years. The question is how do we bring truth to all Americans in easy to access medias for a variety of communities?
Judith, are any groups you know of exploring ways to get messages out on Spanish radio stations? I wish I knew where to start, is it public service announcements, advertising, offering content like fun interviews with celebrities. We need some models and some sense of impact and then we can spread those ideas.
Interesting from the historical perspective as well. The 1%ers with their insatiable greed have often been the root downfall of otherwise seeming successful societies.
Rome, various Chinese dynasties, the slow downhill for the Ottoman Empire all show the negative end product of their top 1%ers.
In Eckart Frahn's "Assyria, the rise and fall of the world's first empire", the same was true. Some of them knew and pointed out...in their vernacular that their wealthiest were 'screwing' them and had wrecked everything.
I wonder why we hunams do this over and over. I greed, over whelming greed a sort of pyschological disorder that makes you ignore logic? I don't know.
I shared this ON FB along with a short quote and it was blocked, saying it was suspected spam. So FB has supposedly stopped fact checking and they block this?????
I would put Way to Win, https://www.waytowin.us/, and their
Action Fund, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/way-to-win-action-fund-1?refcode=YS, at the top of that list.
That fund supports the kind of highly effective social media work discussed in this episode of their new Charting the Way Forward podcast, https://chartingthewayforward.substack.com/p/joe-rogan-barstool-and-tradwives-266 as well as the work of the Freedom Over Fascism Movement consortium.

Let's all get on board now!

Excellent article. Facebook also blocked me from sharing it, stating that it "violates community standards" because of "abusive content." Infuriating.
Did you know FaceBook, for the first time for me, will not let me repost this.....SCREAM
Question: Are immigrants, who were NOT properly entered into the USA be granted the same US Constitutional rights as an American citizen?
Please reply. Thanks
