Welcome.

This guide is dedicated to all the federal employees out there who took an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States from All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic – and who are now planning to do exactly that. The following pages contain a collection of advice and tactics applicable to many situations we now face. You don’t need to do everything in here. In fact, you shouldn’t do everything in here, as many of the tactics conflict with others. Instead, we hope you will find one or two points in here that speak to you and your situation, and that give you courage as you move forward to protect your country.

The authors of this guide are just some people who individually don’t matter too much. No big names you’d recognize, most likely. Just folks going through the same things you are, and doing our best to do something about it. As time goes on, we hope to expand this guide with more content, more examples, and more ways to make a difference. Stay tuned.

We live in dangerous times, and all resistance comes with risk. This guide attempts to point out some particular risks, but certainly does not discuss all of them. In particular, THIS GUIDE IS NOT INTENDED AS LEGAL ADVICE. It’s just a collection of ideas, put together by some people in the same boat as you. The first section, Evergreen Advice for Everyone, includes a few foundational points that will help everything later make sense. After that, the section on Direct Resistance discusses strategies to resist acting on illegal and immoral orders, while Indirect Resistance shows who those of us who provide critical public services can fight back while still doing our jobs.   

Good luck to us all.
