Come join us at The Siposium where we laugh, play, and learn together through experts. Grab a drink, join our topical trivia round, and then sit back to hear our expert share their knowledge in our intimate gathering. Audience interaction and questions are encouraged as we all grow in our understandings together.

This month we learn the roots of the right to privacy in the United States, how the roots have eroded, what remains of your rights, and what you can do about it. Acquire confidence and knowledge about your rights in order to help yourself and those close to you navigate a hazardous privacy landscape. Become an involved and informed conversation leader on the importance of civil rights. Decode strategies used to convince people to give up their rights and peek behind the curtain of the justice system to understand the competing interests that exert an eternal tug-of-war on the civil liberties that keep all of us safe.

This session will cover our Resistance Lab 101 curriculum. If you missed the first session, this is for you!

The Resistance Lab is a series of trainings that are developed specifically for this moment. In this first lab, we look at how non-violent movements around the world have responded to leaders who seize power in authoritarian ways and the most effective tools and tactics to utilize in these moments. We offer frameworks to understand this moment at home, and incorporate interactive conversation with others to help create community and build our resistance movement.

The Resistance Lab was developed with experts who have researched and studied democratic backsliding around the world as well as in the United States and the non-violent movements that have emerged to challenge those authoritarian leaders. We also draw from many toolkits for effective tactics and frameworks as well as from Pramila’s own background leading successful organizing movements for economic and social justice for two decades.

Our goals are to help people understand how democracies fall and the most effective resistance movements that have challenged authoritarians and dictators; to turn anger, fear and frustration into action in the short-term while also preparing for a coordinated resistance movement for the longer term; and to build community across the country that can help grow our movement. At the end of the day, we want to get people strike-ready and street-ready and make sure we protect our people, our freedoms and our democracy.

With Trump and his MAGA billionaires doubling down on their attacks on the economic livelihoods of people to thrive and on our democracy, we can’t afford to sit this moment out. This is about building real power together. And it starts with you.

RSVP today to secure your spot! You’ll receive the virtual event link closer to the date.
