As we push every lever to block Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, we have another goal: recruiting people to the movement. Have you heard of the 3.5% Rule?
Researcher Erica Chenoweth found that a social movement can gain significant momentum once around 3.5% of a population actively participates in actions related to the cause. There are roughly 260 million adults in America. 3.5% is about 9 million people.
This matters because we need to be ready for the day that the Supreme Court fails democracy or Trump simply refuses to obey court orders. The courts do not have their own army to enforce their orders. But they have us, and we will eventually have to take to the streets. All these small protests now are building our movement- because when the call comes, we need 9 Million people to flood the streets.
Your job? Recruit people to the movement!
