“This Time We’re Watching”: Youth Groups Planning Emergency Response to Potential Stolen Election
 

WASHINGTON -- November 2 -- This Time We’re Watching (www.ttww.org) is preparing nonviolent direct action nationwide - especially in swing states - in the event of a disputes over the legitimate victor of the presidential election and/or charges of massive voting rights violations.

The project is providing advance training in nonviolent action, building a network of youth organizations that can mobilize their members, and supporting the development of local plans for action in more than 40 cities in the event of a stolen election.

This Time We’re Watching is a project of the League of Pissed Off Voters, the Ruckus Society, and Truth Force Training Center. It is coordinating its national call with two other coalitions: No Stolen Elections (www.nov3.us) and Beyond Voting (www.beyondvoting.org).

Naina Khanna of the League of Pissed Off Voters pledged: “We will not allow a repeat of 2000, when people – especially poor people and people of color like those in Dade County, Florida – were left to protest their stolen ballots alone, while the rest of us, in shock and confusion, were unprepared to respond. This time we are watching and we are ready.”
