Digital Actions
Rapid-response meme drops, trend hijacks, and coordinated social pushes that make authoritarians look absurd while uplifting local organizers.
Why we laugh & organize
Defend democracy with wit, grit, and zero violence.
We are artists, veterans, students, parents, and pranksters who use nonviolent discipline and strategic humor to make authoritarianism look ridiculous. When people laugh together, they lose fear and join actions that win real reforms.
Strategy Snapshot
Humor knocks extremism off balance. Discipline keeps our communities safe. Organizing together makes winning fun again.
Our theory of change
Nonviolent movements succeed when they mobilize broad coalitions, maintain discipline, and own the cultural conversation. We blend the rigor of movement strategy with the playfulness of satire to remove fear, invite new volunteers, and build momentum that cannot be ignored.
Every campaign starts with clear power analysis, rapid legal review, and a tone check that ensures we punch up at the powerful, not our neighbors. We then design dilemma actions that either proceed or force authoritarians into embarrassing overreactions. Either way, democracy wins.
What we do
Practical, joyful tactics ready for plug-and-play campaigns in any community.
Street Theater
Playful, visual actions that invite bystanders to participate, earn press, and create viral imagery worth sharing again and again.
Voter Help
Civic joy squads that register voters, escort neighbors to the polls, and keep disinformation in check without escalating tension.
Local Resolutions
Campaigns that push city councils and state legislators to back democracy reforms, building momentum toward a 28th Amendment.
