I agree with you, it's time to fight back. Just who owns the churches? If you are split off from the main church, does the church in the USA own the buildings or does the "Chruch" where it is headquartered own it. If the US us split off from the main church, can the conservative members of the US request the church acknowledge them as true members and evict those who are in rebellion?

I'm not an attorney; state law apparently varies widely. Property rights are an issue as well as no doubt nonprofit board member selection and REMOVAL. I wonder if the RICO act, a Class Action or the Civil Rights Act could be invoked by DISENFRANCHISED parishoners. Activist judge bad case law probably is a foot deep and would have to be reversed--the strategy of the wicked has been in place a long time and will take time to fully expose and counter.

Meanwhile, the Apostle Paul's instructions for those who refuse rebuke and who are to be treated as unbelievers would be a good start. And meetings of believers of all denominations for public prayer is definitely one way to weaken the enemy. One reason they HATE prayer so much is that it indeed weakens them relatively, by our invoking God's help against the eternally-defeated ENEMY. If they intimidate us into silence and not peacefully assembling, we give them ground. One Nation, Under GOD indeed.
