This catalog provides model legislative actions that states and localities can adopt to resist the federal authoritarian takeover and restore constitutional governance. Lawmakers and advocates can use these resources to take immediate steps.
The foundational action is the Restore the Constitution Act.
The remaining legislative actions provide specific measures that jurisdictions can adopt either as part of the Restore the Constitution Act or as amendments to it. These include actions to block unlawful federal mandates, shield residents and institutions from retaliation, reclaim misallocated resources, and establish legal protections for those resisting the federal authoritarian takeover.
The list is not intended to be exclusive. We hope jurisdictions will develop additional measures that support these goals, and contributions from legislators, experts, and others are very welcome. Jurisdictions will need to work together, share strategies, and support one another in resisting unlawful federal actions and restoring democratic governance.
