If Trump Cancels The Midterms…
Shut It Down
Nonviolently
Can Trump cancel the midterms?
Trump has been quoted as saying, “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” Although he cannot legally cancel the election, Trump has no regard for the Constitution and has rarely been held accountable when he has ignored the law. Trump and his allies can and will attempt to disrupt the election process in a variety of ways, seeking to disenfranchise millions of voters and throw our nation into the greatest constitutional crisis in our history, all while maintaining power indefinitely. The regime has already demanded state voter rolls be handed over to the DOJ. Federal agencies that would help secure the election results have been gutted. Trump’s Executive Order interfering with mail-in voting could have disenfranchised almost 80% of Arizona’s voters. We can expect more of the same going forward.
red lines
The May Day Strong coalition has pledged to shutdown economic activity if any of the following “red lines” are crossed.
- Seizure of ballot boxes before they are counted
- Deployment of ICE and/or military to the polls to prevent people from voting
- Federal agents, such as militia members, at the polls preventing people from voting
- Complete cessation of vote counting for any reason
- Non-transparent counting or certification processes
- The arbitrary tossing out of valid votes
- Refusal to seat legally elected leaders
- Severe state or opposition escalation, such as the large-scale arrest of movement leaders or the murder of activists

Our goal:
Mobilize 35,000 Southern Arizonans to sign the pledge and participate in the shutdown if the midterms are undermined.

The Tucson metro area is home to 1.09 million people. Research shows that significant social change occurs when 3.5% of a community engages in continuous, nonviolent disruption.
TAKE THE PLEDGE
AND ASK OTHERS TO SIGN!
If Trump cancels or significantly undermines the midterm elections, I will engage in “No work, No school, No shopping” and daily protests to the best of my ability for as long as it takes to force him and his billionaire allies to stop.

A NATIONAL MULTI-CITY MOVEMENT TO SHUT IT DOWN IF HE sabotages THE MIDTERMS
Twenty cities comprising over 30% of the national GDP have agreed to disrupt economic activity for TWO WEEKS if any of the Red Lines are crossed.

19 US CITIES INCLUDING:
✓ New York City
✓ SF Bay Area
✓ Washington DC
✓ Raleigh-Durham
✓ Philadelphia
✓Chicago
✓Minneapolis-Saint Paul
✓Los Angeles
✓ Boston
✓ Tucson
TUCSON SHUTDOWN
Like many other cities, Tucson will disrupt economic activity as part of the national shutdown. Tucson is represented in the May Day Strong coalition and will have a voice in deciding when to initiate the shutdown. There is a real danger that the big NGOs might hesitate to call for a shutdown even when one is necessary.
The grassroots will decide!
To volunteer or learn more, join our weekly Coordinating Committee meeting on Zoom every Sunday evening.
Steering Committee meets at 7:00 pm. General meeting begins at 7:30 pm.
