Established Fact
[Established Fact — Coalition existed; mobilization commitments documented] The Protect the Results coalition launched June 12, 2020, comprising 148 organizational partners — including Indivisible, MoveOn.org, Stand Up America, and the SEIU — that publicly committed to trigger street-level mass protest if Trump contested the election. The coalition expanded to over 80 partners by July 23, 2020, and reached 148 partners prior to Election Day. The coalition’s structure constituted a pre-formed mobilization infrastructure that was activated post-election. Note: tabletop exercises modeling Trump contest scenarios were conducted by the Transition Integrity Project (Rosa Brooks, Georgetown Law), a separate but related effort.
