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

We Keep Us Safe: How to Help with Safety and Security at Protests

How do we keep each other safe at the upcoming No Kings protest? And at other protests, rallies, and public events? Learn how to take on roles such as marshalling to contribute to our collective safety. Learn how anyone at a protest can step up to help de-escalate tense or risky situations that might come up. Because who keeps us safe? We keep us safe!
