SUMMARY:One Million Rising meeting - Fitchburg
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\nThat’s why this summer\, Indivisible launched 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\nThis a local Indivisible event! \n\n\n\nPlease join us at the First Parish Church in Fitchburg at 923 Main Street. Parking is available along the Common\, in the post office parking lot\, and in the Workers’ Credit Union parking lot. If you need to park closer\, please let one of the organizers know. It’s important to us that you be there if you want to be. We will make it work! Enter the church on the LEFT side of the building. There will be a sign on the door. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nPlease\, bring a friend or two! One Million Rising is all about bringing more people into the fold. Bring a friend who might just want to hear what we’re all about and what we’re doing about it. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive by 6:45pm – the meeting will begin PROMPTLY at 7pm. \n\n\n\nThe core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
