"There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all… at some point, we’re all going to have to stand up."

- Rep. Al Green, D-TX

🗽 Across the Nation 🗽

📢 Train for The Resistance With Us - First Session is 7.16‼️

Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy.

Don't do nothing.

Sign up for One Million Rising — a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design.

1️⃣ Session 1: The Moment & Your Mission - July 16. Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action.

2️⃣ Session 2: How to Make it Happen - July 30. This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy, but how you can train others and get them on board. You'll host your first community resistance gathering after this session.

3️⃣ Session 3: What Now? - August 13. You'll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward.

>> Sign up for all 3 sessions here — invite a friend to join you!
