Anti-Trump Group Prepares for Nationwide Shutdown Over Midterm Election Concerns

A group linked to the anti-Trump organization No Kings is preparing supporters for potential nationwide disruptions if the 2026 midterm election results are not ‘honored.’ The Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service has released a National Shutdown Checklist, urging individuals to stockpile 5-10 days of supplies and plan for possible school closures, workplace absences, and sustained pressure on election officials.
🚨 An anti-Trump group is urging supporters to stockpile five to ten days of food for a potential MIDTERM ELECTION shutdown.
The materials outline household preparations, workplace absences, possible school closures, and sustained pressure on election officials, attorneys general, and judges until any perceived ‘crisis’ is resolved.
The pressure points come AFTER voting:
Pace e Bene’s September post explicitly frames the preparations around the midterms, stating that if elections are ‘sabotaged’ and results ‘ignored,’ there may be a call for ‘no work, no school, no shopping.’ The guide states, ‘While much of Election Defense work is local, especially some of the scenario planning, it’s also important to broaden your lens. Start talking with your networks and groups about how to engage in meaningful solidarity actions to support other communities if they’re the ones targeted with election sabotage.’
The group compares the checklist to blizzard or hurricane preparations, noting the disruption would come from coordinated political action rather than weather. The four-page checklist pairs five to ten days of food with medicines, fuel, childcare plans, and mutual aid considerations. It advises workers to coordinate with colleagues and unions and to plan sick calls if a boss will not support the action, and it reaches school administrators with proposals for closures or student walkouts.
The organization says the tool is useful for the midterms and for a longer struggle. In a February 10 message, Pace e Bene urged activists to treat the March 28 No Kings protests as a trial run for testing organizing capacity before building toward a May 1 strike. An October message outlined sustained picketing and staying away from work, shopping, and school ‘until this crisis is resolved,’ and it addressed election officials, state attorneys general, and judges directly.
The group identified specific pressure points after voting, including Michigan results not being certified, an Ohio winner not being seated, and Georgia ballots being seized, as hypothetical triggers for disrupting business as usual. It also pointed to Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, Arizona, and Washington, D.C., as places to watch and cited examples of prolonged protests in other countries.
The materials state that supporters can resume normal lives if elections proceed smoothly, but they emphasize readiness for escalation. As previously reported, Democrat Sen. Ed Markey said his party has lawyers drafting an emergency case for the Supreme Court because they believe President Donald Trump will try to interfere with the midterm elections.
