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

Growing Our Movements: Using Elections to Build Mass Power

To fight authoritarianism, we need to do more than win elections. We need to grow mass movements – which means bringing in more and more people with everything we do. Ahead of the Virginia elections in November, let’s talk about how we can use election-focused organizing to bring folks into our social justice movements, deepen our relationships, and expand our networks. Beyond winning this election, we want to win a future in which our dreams come true – in a thriving, anti-oppressive, inclusive democratic society.
