[Lekooks] Resistance Lab Presentation tomorrow, April 13 - note slight time change

[Tracy Moraine]

Hi all,Sorry for the additional email, but I learned late yesterday that the end time for the presentation has changed - the presentation will now run from noon to 2:00PM.
In case you missed the previous announcements about this program, here's the info:
Join us and invite your friends!  We are offering a Resistance Lab Training Event onSunday, April 13 from noon to 2:00 PM at LCUUC in the sanctuary. This is a Zoom program developed and led by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal to help people understand how democracies fall and learn effective non-violent resistance techniques (Joan Baez will also be speaking).  Plan to arrive at least 5 - 10 minutes before the Zoom program starts at noon. 
  Interested in attending?  Would you like to help?  Send an email to Tracy attracywren at yahoo.com.
 A description of the program follows:
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. 

Be well,Tracy
