2 Go deeper
Summary
Go deeper will help organizers examine the reasoning behind the DNA, test its assumptions, and practice explaining it. The proposed pages cover nonviolence, movement strategy, AI safety, and organizer conversations. Their scope and headings await Rohan's review before content is filled in; existing guidance remains linked from the outlines.
- 2.1 Why nonviolence works — Examine mechanisms, evidence, and limits.
- 2.2 Strategy deep dive — Work through movement growth, moments of opportunity, actions, and allies.
- 2.3 AI safety deep dive — Examine the claims and uncertainties behind our organizing on AI.
- 2.4 The organizer conversation — Build on the existing conversation guides through preparation and practice.
Sources and scope to review
The authors' description of This Is an Uprising emphasizes strategic nonviolent action and how protest changes public debate. Momentum's public model connects mass protest with ongoing organization, including escalation, absorption, and distributed leadership. This supports reviewing the nonviolence and strategy outlines together, with attention to how new participants stay involved.
Momentum's public training videos introduce hybrid organizing through historical and contemporary movements. The four requested topics in the strategy outline are proposed headings, not a verified reproduction of Momentum's full curriculum. The AI safety page is a Sapiens First addition that needs its own evidence. This comparison was checked on 2026-10-09; Rohan's review of the outlines is still pending.
