Non-Cooperation and Alternative Cooperation Team
Political scientists have found that to have a chance at stopping authoritarian regimes, democratic movements have to get sustained engagement from 3.5% of the population in taking non-cooperation and alternative actions.
Berkeley has ~120,000 residents, so 3.5% of us would be about about ~4,200 residents. We believe there are more than 4,200 people out there who want to to resist the democratic backsliding we are experiencing.

Two primary objectives for the working group:
- Increase awareness and inspire more non-cooperation and alternative cooperation actions from community members beyond symbolic protests.
- Build and strengthen relationships between community members and form networks for taking on larger scale non-cooperation and alternative cooperation actions in the future, such as when ICE gets deployed here.
