“Trump, MAGA, 77 million votes: how did we get here?” a training for antiracist white people
When: December 4, 6:00pm-7:30pm
Where: Virtual
Millions of us woke up on November 6 horrified, devastated– and stunned. Trump won both the popular vote and the electoral college handily, running a campaign with his now-typical playbook of blatant racism, bullying, and outright lies. In the weeks before his inauguration, now is the time to slow down and look deeply at the long historical arc of how MAGA rose to power. We must understand why he won in order to effectively fight back in the four years ahead, and build enough power to beat him and other MAGA candidates along the way.
In this webinar, we’ll be joined by brilliant movement strategists and organizers, Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson and Linda Burnham. We’ll get into the history of the rise of the far right, strategic racism, and how worsening economic conditions and the Democratic party contributed towards the rise of MAGA. Then, we’ll get trained in how to use your personal story to move people to action.
