Join our new and improved People’s Activist Series! Learn more about using people power to fight fascism. We will explore how to use symbolic actions and strategic noncooperation while organizing to keep our community safe. Join as many sessions as you can—let’s build power!

We hope folks who join these sessions will learn to:

• Understand yourself as part of long-standing global freedom struggles

• Decide how you will engage in activism and find roles that excite you

• Welcome new folks to join our activist communities

• Protect yourself and each other at protests and other activist events

• Work together to make plans and take action against fascism

Let’s Get Oriented: Non-Cooperation to Resist Authoritarianism

What’s the plan? How do we topple an authoritarian regime? Whether this is your first activist event all year or you’ve been organizing nonstop since long before the inauguration, this orientation is for you. Let’s talk about what props up authoritarianism, and what we can do to slow, stop, and reverse it. If you’re already part of one of our organizations, learn how what you’re doing fits into broader strategies. If you’re not already part of one of our organizations, let’s find you a role and get you connected! We need everyone!
