Today we're talking about how to combat the common tactics that perpetrators of political violence rely on from the HOPE guide (linked below):

1. Combat the cover-up with the Reveal – Expose the injustice.
2. Combat devaluation + Redeem – Validate the target.
3. Combat reinterpretation + Reframe – Interpret the event as an injustice.
4. Combat official channels + Redirect – Mobilize support and avoid official channels.
5. Combat intimidation or rewards + Resist – Resist intimidation and bribes.
