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

Non-Cooperation Strategies in Action: Defending Free Elections

Let’s deepen our use of non-cooperation to fight authoritarianism. In this session, we will engage in scenario-planning to develop strategies we can use to prepare for future consolidations of authoritarian power, such as interference in free democratic elections. What resources do we have now that we could use to defend free elections, if needed? What resources, skills, and plans could we build now so that we are better prepared to defend free elections in the future?
