Lisa Fithian’s National Guard Suppression Strategy – Lobbying of Governors (US)

[Disputed Fact — As to whether governors were actually lobbied] Lisa Fithian, a documented radical street-action organizer and key Protect the Results trainer, conducted pre-election sessions that included discussion of lobbying Democratic governors to commit in advance to withhold National Guard units from post-election protests. Whether governor lobbying actually occurred and whether commitments were obtained is disputed; the planning sessions themselves are documented in leaked recordings.
