What we’re facing– and how we fight back: building resistance under a MAGA administration

When: December 18, 6-7:30pm

Where: Virtual

REGISTER HERE!

Right now and in the years ahead, we need to dig deep, stay grounded, and soberly face the hard realities of what is to come: mass repression, deportations, and rolling back of civil liberties and public infrastructure. Then, from this grounding, we can imagine and strategize ways to fight back.

Join SURJ and our partners who have been leading social change work on the frontlines for years: Rukia Lumumba from the Movement for Black Lives, Marcela Hernandez from Detention Watch Network, and Tica Moreno from World March of Women Brazil. First, we’ll hear their analysis on the conditions we’ll be facing in the years ahead. Then, we’ll hear lessons from movements of regular people who have carried on sustained resistance under repressive conditions in the US and across the globe.

In the “training” portion of this call, we’ll dig deep with SURJ organizers on a critical part of this work: how to bring more white people into this work.

This call is the second in a training series, “Gear Up,” SURJ’s 10-week organizing program for white people to get into formation before Inauguration Day. You can join the program here: https://www.mobilize.us/surj/event/745151/
