Just refuse. The more of us who do this, the more powerful we all are.
This is certainly true in the case of government mandates that happened during the Covid hysteria in my neck of the woods. We just decided as a community that we weren't going to comply and that was basically the end of it.
I remember that your county did that. I hope I can convince mine to go that direction. Not likely the county will, but I have heard from several who complied last time that they won't do it again.
