What can ordinary, busy people do about a U.S. government and society quickly swinging toward fascism? What do we know from the past and present and around the world about what works? Where do we start? How do we continue?

Those of us who “enjoy” a particular type of pain, the kind reminiscent of warm needles being inserted into your cornea, have spent the past few months trying to understand the strategy of the Democratic Party.

Regardless of what predictions have been made or what polls have been conducted, November 5th will soon be history. The fact is that no matter the outcome of the election, what cannot be undone is that the United States at large has widely platformed fascist messaging, bigotry, violence, and every manner of dangerous white-supremacist ideology for the past several years now.

Back away from the pitchfork! I am well aware of the dangers the right presents. I am worried about the threat of Project 2025. I am terrified of a second Trump presidency that could thrust us into a fascist dictatorship. However my fears should not preclude me from the need and responsibility to be critical of my own party. Since I was 18 years old, I have proudly showed up to the polls to exercise my right to vote. My ancestors fought and died for that, after all.

The election of Trump caused a sense of panic inside me. I, like many others, wanted to become more involved so that as a community we could survive his tenure and prevent a second. I signed up for my local committee mailing list, but I only ever got invitations for fundraisers. There was no on-ramp to engage meaningfully, to offer insights, or to learn the intricacies of the political process.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion; soon after I became short of breath. The smell of pepper burned my throat and eyes. I quickly ran inside, shut the door, and instructed my sons to close all the windows.

I watched the sun set on my top porch on a comfortable summer evening in Buffalo. Suddenly, I heard a commotion; soon after I became short of breath. The smell of pepper burned my throat and eyes. I quickly ran inside, shut the door, and instructed my sons to close all the windows. I sat them in the living room and spoke with them candidly as I always do before I participate in any civil disobedience. Who to call, what to do, what to expect etc.

As I turned the corner I could see Buffalo Police in full tactical gear unleashing a flurry of what I assumed to be pepper spray on protestors. The protest had been forcibly redirected from downtown and redirected into a residential neighborhood where people could be easily contained and assaulted. What began as a peaceful protest had now become a riot.
