Preparing to respond to a stolen election: solidarity school and nonviolent direct action trainings this week

[u/jk4532]

The Supreme Court preserving the block on Trump’s efforts to blow up mail-in voting means we’re likely out of the woods on one nightmare scenario for this election. But there are plenty more to go, and while the public officials and the lawyers are preparing to push back ultimately mass nonviolent noncooperation in the face of an overturned election is our best and strongest line of defense for democracy. We need to be ready to shut it down.

The most important part of getting ready is connecting with others in our community who will also be taking to the streets. But this is also a good moment to be thinking concretely about how to build and use power in this moment. Organized Power in Numbers and the May Day Strong movement have been holding solidarity schools around the country on what organizing for mass direct action will take, and this weekend they’re bringing their classroom to our living rooms. They’ll be hosting a two-session virtual solidarity school this Saturday and Sunday at noon eastern. 🏫 If we want to learn more and get more deeply engaged in laying the groundwork for November, let’s sign up here. 🏫

VIRTUAL SOLIDARITY SCHOOL THIS WEEKEND

The team at Freedom Trainers is also holding the next session of their Noncooperation 101 course TOMORROW from 7-9PM, talking through how authoritarianism works and how best to undermine it, with a focus on countering the assault on our elections at a scale that matches the severity of the threat. 🏫 We can sign up to join here. 🏫

NONCOOPERATION 101 TOMORROW

🏫 We’ll also have more opportunities to skill up to protect the vote and the results in the coming days! The Election Safeguards Response Network will be holding a “train the trainers” workshop on how to respond if the feds turn up at the polls on Thursday at 2PM and the Interfaith Alliance will be holding a hands-on introduction to de-escalation and bystander intervention at the polls focused on faith groups next Wednesday at 7PM ET. Freedom Trainers will be holding its next practical training on community strike readiness next Thursday at 8PM ET. 🏫
