​​​

• Use the Truth Sandwich to refute lies and propaganda.  

 

• Move beyond Description to Prescription. Otherwise, we amplify & promote opposition's message, & build their momentum.

 

• Post productive action we can take, with contact info. ​

 

• Thank local, state, & federal officials when they publicly rebuke white supremacists, defend Democracy, & make policies that help Americans thrive. 

​​

• Bombard your** senators & representatives with clear, declarative, brief statements.  I demand that you speak out publicly against racist acts of violence and racist language. Otherwise, you are the domestic enemy you have sworn to protect us against. 

 

• Publicly censure media every time their headlines mislead or lie like the AJC headline: Cops: Shooting suspect says he targeted spas because of sexual addiction. Or  the Washington Post headline: Suspect in Atlanta-area spa shootings that left eight dead might have frequented businesses, authorities say. 

         These headlines should read: "White male domestic terrorist assassinates 8 people - at  least 6 are   

         Asian women." 

​

• Push the media to retrain itself to focus on the Biden presidency. 

 

• Post images & stories frequently of Biden, Harris, and their cabinet.

 

• Do not post images/words of 45 or those who align themselves with him. 

 

• Post & amplify Joe Biden's presidency & policies to infuse them into the zeitgeist to #ChangeTheNarrative.
