Teaching Noncooperation Against Authoritarians

“I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Mission and Vision

We are a tiny crew trying to support a big thing. Our team includes Keya Chatterjee, Nadine Bloch, Daniel Hunter, Jeff Ordower, Maria Stephan, Tabatha Pilgrim Thompson, and others.

We are a loose network of trainers teaching folks about these powerful tools of collective noncompliance and mass noncooperation based on tried and true tactics used by movements from around the world fighting against authoritarianism.

Our Principles

  • We oppose state violence using STRATEGIC ORGANIZING and COLLECTIVE NONCOOPERATION that boldly takes a stance against all violence and oppression;
  • We are in SOLIDARITY with other movements — we welcome all people struggling for equality, freedom, and liberation;
  • We seek a mass movement to resist authoritarianism — knowing that REQUIRES DISAGREEMENTS and working with people we do not align with on all things;
  • We aspire for a DEMOCRACY where people’s wisdom is honored and people have direct control over our own destinies and futures.
