The following threat warning is provided so that members of American Contingency are aware
of and preparing for significant potential of civil unrest in and around certain critical dates
and/or activities in the near future.

Background
Historically political conventions have served as rallying points for a variety of political actors
allowing for demonstrations and/or other activities meant to make known various grievances,
real or perceived, in order to influence political outcomes.
The 2020 election cycle will be utilized by a variety of actors to include BLM, Antifa, and/or nonaligned
actors to conduct broad spectrum civil insurrection and violence prone demonstrations.

Warning
Based on current insurrectionist activity it is assessed that the RNC/DNC Conventions will
provide for a platform by which various neo-Marxist elements such as BLM, Antifa and others
will conduct broad spectrum, politically centered demonstrations and related activities in order
to disrupt the conventions and further their goal of destabilizing the United States.
It is assessed that BLM, Antifa and other forces will utilize a variety of means and methods by
which they will seek to disrupt the political conventions and/or create conditions leading to civil
insurrection and lawlessness.
Local security forces will more than likely be overwhelmed by the volume and nature of the
intended protests and in some cases local security forces will be ordered to “stand down” in the
face of these protests as has happened during the period of civil insurrection on-going since
May 2020.

Recommendations
AC personnel and allies should be prepared for localized civil unrest during the conduct of both
the parties national conventions.

Monitor local and national media to include social media in order to remain aware of
threat forces activities in the aforementioned locationsMonitor localized insurrectionist activity regardless of your location as civil unrest may
not be confined to convention areasIf you own commercial real estate and/or a business in vicinity of the convention areas
be prepared to harden and/or otherwise secure your business against looting and/or
protest damageBe prepared to respond to direct physical assault on your person and propertyBe prepared for disruption of critical infrastructure in your area including power
generation and cell serviceBe prepared for a lack of police presence in your localized area. LE will be overwhelmed
and may not be able to respondYou should already be prepared with food, potable water, fuel, and other necessities

already have established criteria and plans in regards to the potential need to displace
