SUMMARY:One Million Rising Watch Party-Franklin
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations\, rollbacks of civil rights\, weaponized courts\, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action\, but through sustained organizing in our communities. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nThat’s why this summer\, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation\, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. \n\n\n\nLet’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. \n\n\n\nDid you miss Session 1? It’s not too late to join us – just watch the recording here! \n\n\n\nSession 2: How to Make it Happen – July 30 Learn not just our strategy\, but how you can lead a discussion with others and get them on board with taking action in your community. You’ll host your first community resistance gathering after this session\, before our next session. \n\n\n\nCan’t get into the Zoom? No problem! Check out the livestream at nokings.org/rise – make sure to still register so you can stay in touch with us and receive all of the follow-up materials! \n\n\n\nSession 3: What Now? – August 13 You’ll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work.
