How We'll Defend our Hummocks

 Defending Our Lowcountry's Seven Hummocks

How We Will Defend Our DiversCity

Read the Press Release Announcing our Organizational Plan to the Community as we move towards July 14.

Unity City, Moms for Liberty and the other Christian Dominationist organizations working together to take over our community, organize themselves around the seven mountains of influence doctrine, an anti biblical plan which justifies Dominionists abandoning the teachings of Jesus to achieve coercive secular power over the people of the SC Lowcountry. This violates the US Constitution and the teachings of the New Testament.

It also violates geography. There are no mountains here. Ours is a flat, moist land mingled with the sea. Our green marshes are dotted with hummocks, small mounds, usually associated with freshwater springs and covered with wax myrtle bushes which are a haven for life, refuge from the heat and saltiness of our vast marshes. We have no mountains to defend, but we’ll fight for our hummocks.

Our organizational structure, like our land, is flat and fertile. Seven working groups form a council of nine with one vote from each working group and one from Administration and Communications/Fundraising. Each working group has 3-5 expert members well connected to and be highlynowledgeable about their sector/hummock. Instead of a hierarchy funded with right wing money from out of state, ultimately sourced from billionaires who could care less about any kind of religion (the false Gods of the right), our organization will call up resources from the organizations connected to our network through their working group/sector/hummock. Each working group will lead a small rapid response force or trained people who can connect with and mobilize their part of the community.

We’ll build on and connect the power the Lowcountry already has, which is massive. We won’t sneak into organizations to compromise them, we’ll bring them together with honesty and vision to save our Hummocks, our Lowcountry. (There will be T-shirts.) We know we will come together, with some bickering, because this is our land.

Our first effort will be to staff the seven working groups and draft the Lowcountry Declaration of Resistance so that we can present them and sign the declaration on Bastille Day, Sunday, July 14 at a celebration of human freedom, DiversCity and hope. We’ll also read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that night. 

We cannot save America from SC. That battle will take place elsewhere. We may not be able to save South Carolina. We shall hold this blue island, our Lowcountry, our home. 

Here are the Seven Hummocks and the status of Organization of Each. Contact info will be inserted here when each group is fully organized and ready to begin operation. 

Lowcountry Up is Good, PAC, Inc. will control the effort until January, 2025 when DiversCity will become self-governing. Effort until then will focus on training, fundraising to support efforts to build and sustain resistance, and local elections.
