Deep-research, fact-checked, and written for community leaders, civil-rights advocates, and everyday residents who want practical, defensible steps to stay safe.
Executive summary (TL;DR)
There are two different “insurrection” concepts people mix up — (1) the 14th Amendment Section 3 “disqualification” clause (used in lawsuits to bar officials/candidates from office), and (2) the Insurrection Act (an 1807 federal law that can authorize military forces to operate domestically). Both carry real consequences for civic life and public safety — and both have been in the headlines since 2023–2024. GoVia’s mission is to protect people during contentious civic moments by combining secure evidence-capture, verified community reporting, legal/mental-health pathways, and community-first de-escalation resources.

What’s Going On Across the Country
You may have heard the word “insurrection” a lot in the news lately. It’s being used in court cases, political debates, and even in conversations about how the government could respond to unrest.
But here’s the truth — there are two different “insurrection” rules, and they mean very different things:
- The 14th Amendment (Section 3) – This rule says that anyone who took part in an insurrection can’t serve in public office. Some states tried to use it to keep certain candidates off the ballot.
- The Insurrection Act (from 1807) – This old law lets the President send in the military if there’s violence or rebellion inside the U.S. It’s rarely used, but if it ever is, it can affect cities fast — especially during protests or community tension.
These two laws can cause confusion or fear — and when people are scared, bad information spreads quickly. That’s where GoVia steps in.
