Subject: Practicing non-cooperation at scale
Dear Indivisible Mobile:
This email is prompted by your Facebook post announcing a training session "to build the necessary strength to practice non-cooperation at scale"
Your Facebook post says:
Non-cooperation is a key component of nonviolent resistance, and was a hallmark of the Civil Rights movement, as well as having been a successful strategy for striking back against authoritarian regimes all over the world and throughout history. Non-cooperation is best aimed at the pillars that in good times support a healthy society, but in bad times can be forced to serve an authoritarian regime. The main pillars are Business, Labor, Faith Organizations, Educational Institutions, the Civil Service, the Military and Police. (I would include the Media and Health Care, and you can probably think of some others.)
I think targeted emailing I have been doing in Alabama directed at the legal profession, chambers of commerce, local TV stations, educational institutions, churches, and public health constituents has potential for being strong "non-cooperation."
Some of my targeted emailing is set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rage Against The Regime challenge.
I have been soliciting Alabama Trump resistance groups and others to join in to do ORGANIZED, targeted emailing that I think could make for "non-cooperation at scale." Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Continuation of appeal for organized, targeted emailing
Please call me if you see potential here for discussion.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Hello, Rob, and thank you for getting in touch!
This targeted emailing is exactly the kind of noncooperative effort that we would like to help with or organize among our own members. I see that you are in Birmingham, so would not be able to attend our One Million Rising training here in Mobile this Saturday, but we plan to offer attendees a number of different campaigns to choose to work on. May I include your target emailing campaign and have a member follow up with you?

Maura, thank you. Great!!
In the meantime, identifying the Alabama legal profession as "a main pillar that is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose," today I sent targeted emails to my Alabama lawyers list and Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee list.
The emails put forth to them Joyce Vance's book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy, as my making an initial foray for trying to build "non-cooperation at scale" In Alabama.
My emails are posted at https://trumptweet.blogspot.com/2025/08/non-cooperation-at-scale-in-alabama.html.
I hope Indivisible Mobile and the other Alabama Trump resister groups I have been contacting will study the emails I sent today and are stimulated to think about how such emails can built on for further targeted emailing.
I look forward to your getting back in touch.

Subject: "Non-cooperation at scale" in Alabama - Joyce Vance's book
To Alabama lawyers:
This email avails of Joyce Vance's new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy, for my making an initial foray for trying to build "non-cooperation at scale" in Alabama.
The "non-cooperation" terminology comes from an Indivisible Mobile Facebook post , which said, among other things, as follows:
"Non-cooperation is best aimed at the pillars that in good times support a healthy society, but in bad times can be forced to serve an authoritarian regime. The main pillars are Business, Labor, Faith Organizations, Educational Institutions, the Civil Service, the Military and Police." (I [the Facebook poster] would include the Media and Health Care, and you can probably think of some others.)"
I believe the Alabama legal profession is such a main pillar that is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose.
I hope many Alabama lawyers join in non-cooperation as regards the Alabama legal profession.
If you disagree with my belief that the Alabama legal profession is being forced to serve an authoritarian purpose, please speak up.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: Organized, targeted emailing regarding Joyce Vance's book?
Laurie:
Non-cooperation at scale in Alabama needs non-cooperating candidates, and Joyce Vance for Alabama Attorney General would be great.
In May, former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Mitchell announced his candidacy for Alaba,a Attorney General, saying "President Trump is moving boldly to restore the United States Constitution - and we must ensure that his agenda takes root not only in Washington, but also in the states. I feel called to play a larger role in that effort in Alabama."
In response to former Supreme Court Justice Mitchell's announcement, I sent him (and other possible AG candidates) an email that I posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 123. In that email, I say:
"My view is that Donald Trump is seeking to undermine the United States Constitution and the rule of law as part of a relentless. overriding motivation on his part to amass unchecked and ultimately unconstitutional power in himself to rule over the United States.Whether or not Joyce Vance decides to become a candidate for Attorney General, non-cooperators in Alabama must find ways to press their non-cooperation in connection with the AG election.
I will be endeavoring to get my view of Donald Trump raised in, and debated by the candidates in, the 2026 Alabama Attorney General election."
I have ideas for organized, targeted emailing to do this regarding the AG election.
Any Trump resister who is interested in helping out on this should please contact me.
Thanks,
Rob

Dear Unmute Alabama:
The Unmute Alabama Facebook page was called to my attention by Marsha Sue Sturdevant.
The page proclaims "UNMUTING TRUTH, UNMUTING PROGRESS, UNMUTING ALABAMA" and further says the page is "A platform for empowering progressives in Alabama and beyond. Join us to amplify voices, share solutions, and push for better leadership."
I am trying to participate in a "non-cooperation at scale" strategy being developed by Indivisible Mobile and particularly am advocating the use of organized, targeted emailing as a tool in the strategy. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Non-cooperation in Alabama at scale
The purpose of this email is to ask whether Unmute Alabama's functioning has room for "non-cooperation at scale" activities and the organized, targeted emailing I am advocating for.
I would very much like to talk with Unmute Alabama about this.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Organized, targeted emailing seeks to bust out of one's likeminded networks and the sharing messages there, and instead to engage in combat politics in the full arena.
While Unmute Alabama may wish to stay in its lane, I welcome any suggestions from you or others in Unmute Alabama for how I might do better in doing combat politics in the full arena.

Unmute Alabama has a very specific mission as a grassroots messaging platform.

Subject: Indivisible Mobile is trying organized, targeted emailing
To Alabama Trump resistance groups and others:
Today Indivisible Mobile allowed me to post on its private Facebook page Indivisible Mobile | Facebook the following:
I am in Birmingham.Following making the foregoing Facebook post, I sent an email to my contacts at Indivisible Mobile, saying:
I have joined the Indivisible Mobile Facebook private group, and I am being allowed to introduce myself to the group and tell the group about organized, targeted emailing that I am trying to promote in Alabama.
I have piggy-backed on the strategy of "non-cooperation at scale" that Indivisible Mobile is trying to develop.
For further explanation of all of this, please read Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Non-cooperation in Alabama at scale.
Organized, targeted emailing seeks to break out of one's likeminded networks and the sharing of messages there, and instead to engage in combat politics in the full arena.
I solicit members of Indivisible Mobile to participate with me in organized, targeted emailing in the Mobile area, and, even if members don't do actual emailing, I solicit their suggestions for increasing the effectiveness of organized, targeted emailing in the Mobile area.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Thanks for the post I have made on Indivisible Mobile's private Facebook page to get this going.I hope other Alabama Trump resistance groups will try organized, targeted emailing, as Indivisible Mobile is doing.
There's lots of directions this may go. Let me throw out some of the things I am thinking about.
Consideration needs to be given to what messaging and communicating is "public" (my blog and personal Facebook; outward directed emails) and what messaging and communicating is "private" (Indivisible Mobile's private Facebook group page; internal emailing). The "private" stuff may, with appropriate permission, get copied and pasted into "public" space.
An immediate form of the latter is that I may copy and paste my Indivisible Mobile post into my personal Facebook, other groups' Facebooks, and/or an email I send to the parties Maura has seen on numerous emails.
In my blog, I have a number of separate blog entries that target particular categories of targets. I may identify parties in the Mobile area who are in those categories and start sending emails to them. I may post in my blog the emails I send and/or may post the emails on Facebook.
I may draft suggestions for emails to be sent by others who are doing the targeted emailing I am urging to be done.
I will post information on Indivisible Mobile's Facebook page about things I am doing (which posting will be subject to monitoring by the administrators).
Please tell me your reaction to my above thinking and your own thinking.
Thanks.
Rob

Dear Friends,
If you think, as I do, that we are in a time of national hopelessness, please inform yourself about the Detroit mayor who is running as an Independent candidate for Michigan governor. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan vs. the System: Inside His Independent Run for Governor | The Smerconish Podcast; Why Detroit's mayor launched an Independent run for governor.
Then, please consider if you have a glimmer of hope thinking about flooding the country with Independent candidates in 2026. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Flood the zone with Independent candidates in 2026
Thanks.

Subject: How fearful of Trump is the Alabama business community?
To Alabama chambers of commerce and others:
The news story Trump demands 'highly conflicted' Intel CEO resign over China ties prompts me to ask you about how fearful the Alabama business community is of Trump.
As I have previously tried to say to you, my opinion is that Trump's overriding motivation at this juncture in his life is to be, and show to the world that he is, the most powerful and consequential President (for good or bad) in the history of the United States.
For that, I believe Trump is hellbent on mowing down any and all checks and restraints that impede his gaining ever more power in his relentless quest to be the most powerful and consequential United States President ever.
Trump has been incredibly successful towards that end during the past nine months.
A chief tool Trump wields is that of instilling fear in anyone who opposes him or speaks against him.
Such fear is infectious and builds on itself, in that, as some parties succumb to Trump out of fear, other parties are more likely to succumb and do succumb to Trump, and that further grows the fear of Trump.
The fear includes fear of being shunned by other parties with whom one has business (or other) relationships, because one perceives the other parties as being fearful of being associated with someone who speaks against Trump, and for that reason one chooses not to speak against Trump.
Please tell me how pervasive you think fear of Trump is in the Alabama business community as to result in the foregoing phenomenon of people in the community being unwilling to speak up against Trump. (I appreciate that your answering this inquiry is a lose/lose proposition that, if you say people are not fearful, that may encourage people not to be fearful and to speak up, and, if you say people are fearful, that may cause people to decide not to be ruled by fear and to speak up against Trump.)
Thank you.

Dear United Democratic Volunteers of Alabama:
Your website says UDVAL "is a grassroots network empowering volunteers to support Democratic initiatives across the state. Founded in 2021 as UDCAL (United Democratic Clubs of Alabama) and then changed to UDVAL in late 2024, we leverage our network of volunteers to fill in the gaps of other Democratic organizations instead of reinventing the wheel. We are not a political action committee (PAC) nor a non-profit or for-profit organization. We have no funds, no bank account, no mailing address, and no paid staff.

Thank you to the group that turned out today to continue to hold Katie Britt accountable for her support of the Big Ugly Billionaire Bill. We got lots of thumbs up, honks and some thank you's from passers by. It's amazing how many folks don't even know that Senator Britt has an office at the Vance building that she rarely, if ever, visits.
For the near future, we will keep showing up every Wednesday from noon - 1pm. Please consider joining us next week! Corner of 1800 5th Ave N, Vance Federal Building. We're serious but fun!

I am all for protests of Katie Britt outside her offices in Alabama.
As to protesting Katie Britt by means of Facebook posts, I think Facebook posting has limited reach to similarly minded persons, and, as such, Facebook posting does not reach persons who are undecided or otherwise open to persuasion. and does not show fight to the other side.
I have been advocating for organized, targeted emailing to protest Katie Britt, as a way that can overcome the limitations of Facebook posting for protesting Katie Britt. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Targeting Katie Britt.

Subject: Practicing non-cooperation at scale
Dear Indivisible Mobile:
This email is prompted by your Facebook post announcing a training session "to build the necessary strength to practice non-cooperation at scale"
Your Facebook post says:
Non-cooperation is a key component of nonviolent resistance, and was a hallmark of the Civil Rights movement, as well as having been a successful strategy for striking back against authoritarian regimes all over the world and throughout history. Non-cooperation is best aimed at the pillars that in good times support a healthy society, but in bad times can be forced to serve an authoritarian regime. The main pillars are Business, Labor, Faith Organizations, Educational Institutions, the Civil Service, the Military and Police. (I would include the Media and Health Care, and you can probably think of some others.)I think targeted emailing I have been doing in Alabama directed at the legal profession, chambers of commerce, local TV stations, educational institutions, churches, and public health constituents has potential for being strong "non-cooperation."
Some of my targeted emailing is set out at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rage Against The Regime challenge.
I have been soliciting Alabama Trump resistance groups and others to join in to do ORGANIZED, targeted emailing that I think could make for "non-cooperation at scale." Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Continuation of appeal for organized, targeted emailing
