My homeboy is deep into the ADOS movement. For a good year we've been arguing about their ridiculous plan of action and its feasibility unlikelihood. Last night we had a conversation about a conference they recently had at a smaller HBCU, Simmons College. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inaugural-ados-conference-americandos-ados-tickets-56084406971# Beyond costing the least, to attend, of any similar conference I've seen ($15), he explained their takeaways were that they've partially changed their action plan. Instead of urging people not to vote, they're directing each other to vote, especially in down ballot elections. For the presidential election, their answer is to write in "ADOS" if the DEM candidate doesn't address their wants. With the intention that in the wake of a loss the "ADOS" write-in tabulation will demonstrate their collective voting might. The other change, instead of shunning and angrily being disgusted by legacy black orgs, like the NAACP and the Urban League, join them (it's inexpensive https://i.ibb.co/qCnRXXP/UL.jpg) and change them from within. They used the lone Urban League chapter to outwardly support Byron Allen and his lawsuit. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/los-angeles-urban-league-urges-the-us-supreme-court-to-protect-the-civil-rights-act-of-1866-300908999.html
My point, these two issues have been the overarching part of my argument with him all this time, how the plan isn't designed to succeed. Now, I believe the ADOS movement's plan positions them far better than before.
