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. </p>
<p>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\u2019s own
background leading successful organizing movements for economic and
social justice for two decades. </p>
<p>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. </p>

on the economic livelihoods of people to thrive and on our democracy, we
