Non-Cooperation Strategies in Action: Personal Refusals in Daily Life 

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 engage in personal acts of noncompliance in our everyday lives, such as refusing instructions in the workplace. What resources do we have now that we could use to support each other in these personal acts? What resources, skills, and plans could we build now so we are better prepared to refuse to cooperate with authoritarianism in the future?

New non-cooperation content!

We will start each workshop promptly – please arrive a bit early if you want to get settled and make a plate. Bring food for the potluck if you’re able! Everyone is invited to eat when you want, and to stay to enjoy each other’s company after the workshop. We join a long legacy of Southern communities eating and learning together as we grow movements for collective liberation.

These sessions are free! If you are able, we ask for a voluntary $5 contribution to help support the series. You can donate ahead of time here, or donate at the door.
