SUMMARY:Explore Discord!
DESCRIPTION:One of the goals in creating MAMA Discord server was to help bridge the generational gap we are seeing with many activist groups right now\, particularly within Indivisible chapters. Toward that end\, we started a Discord Workshop\, in collaboration with Indivisible Acton Area chapter. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link!\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is right after the weekly zoom check-in with the national organizers for Indivisible\, since it is particularly geared toward Indivisible members in MA chapters. Though of course everyone is welcome to join. \n\n\n\nWe’re going to spend the first 30min-1hr helping people to install Discord on their devices and showing them the ropes. How the servers work\, what kind of tools are available\, how to make posts and share things\, how to mute channels and manage the chatter\, and so on. We will also talk about other apps and tools people commonly use such as Signal and Slack. The next hour of the workshop will be optional and open-ended for asking questions and exploring the MAMA server.

SUMMARY:Freedom Trainers:  Non-cooperation 101
DESCRIPTION:In this 3 hour training\, we’ll cover the authoritarian threat\, pillars of support\, stories of noncooperation in these times\, and how noncooperation has been used to defeat authoritarians and fascists. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nRegister on the Freedom Trainers Website \n\n\n\nFreedom Trainers \n\n\n\nMany are looking for ways to get involved to stand up against attacks to our rights and freedoms. \n\n\n\nAs individuals\, groups\, and communities we can refuse to cooperate with official policies and actions nonviolently. When we take away our acquiescence at a massive scale\, undemocratic actors can be stopped in their tracks. \n\n\n\nWe are a loose network of trainers teaching folks about these powerful tools of collective noncompliance and mass noncooperation based on tried and true tactics used by movements from around the world fighting against authoritarianism. \n\n\n\nWebsite: freedomtrainers.net

SUMMARY:Origami in Action: Birds of Peace & Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue to learn the basics of origami\, and explore various types of birds. We will discuss using our newly learned in skills in creating origami as a protest art. You are welcome to come\, relax\, and join us in simply creating origami. \n\n\n\nOr\, you have the option to join us in the following action…. \n\n\n\nWe hope to create as many origami birds as possible. Long considered a symbol of peace and hope\, we plan to come together and deliver them to the nearest ice detention center on President’s Day\, February 16\, 2026. \n\n\n\nPerhaps we’ll gather them in a garland to hang on a fence or from a tree. It won’t matter if there is one bird or an entire flock—the symbolism is the same: In these times of chaos and lack of empathy\, where hatred is made acceptable\, we will stand together for peace. We will stand for the love of one another. We will recognize the inherent worth of all of us\, no matter from where we come. We will reaffirm that all people deserve to be treated with respect\, justice\, equity and compassion. \n\n\n\nWe welcome you to join us. \n\n\n\n\nMore Info and Register for Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nFeel free to contact us with any questions you might have\, at salemscall@yahoo.com. \n\n\n\nThis is a free workshop. Donations appreciated\, but certainly not required. \n\n\n\nA 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.
