2. Engage in Civic and Political Processes — Even When They Feel Rigged
Authoritarian-leaning governments often rely on public disengagement. Participation is a form of resistance.
Vote in every election, especially local ones
Support independent candidates or parties that advocate democratic reforms
Join or volunteer for civic organizations
Attend city council meetings
Push for transparency laws, open-data policies, and oversight mechanisms
Small-scale political pressure accumulates. Many major democratic reforms began with local-level activism.
