SUMMARY:One Million Rising-Strategic Non-cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
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\, 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\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: The Moment & Your Mission – July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. \n\n\n\nSession 2: How to Make it Happen – July 30 This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy\, but how you can train others and get them on board. You’ll host your first community resistance gathering after this session. \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. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. \n\n\n\nSign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person\, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

SUMMARY:GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: "Voting Rights: The Struggle To Be Counted" (a film viewing/discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Phil Portlock is a native Washingtonian\, photographer\, writer\, film producer and social justice activist. With the creative use of images\, music and narration by his wife Pat Sloan\, the film “Voting Rights: The Struggle To Be Counted” traces the long and often brutal struggle by African Americans to obtain and maintain the right to vote. “A VOTELESS PEOPLE IS A VOICELESS PEOPLE”!  \n\n\n\nOur rights are under attack. Our democracy is under siege. We’ve been here before\, and we know what to do. \n\n\n\nOn July 17\, we honor the anniversary of the passing of civil rights hero John Lewis\, not with ceremonies\, but with action. Across the country\, we will take to the streets\, courthouses\, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice\, voting rights\, and dignity for all. \n\n\n\nThis is more than a protest\, it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead\, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. \n\n\n\nPlease note: a core principle behind our John Lewis Good Trouble Day actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:We Won More State House Transparency. What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:In late June\, the MA House and Senate passed new Joint Rules for the first time in six years. \n\n\n\nThat may sound wonky or arcane\, but the rules govern who gets to participate in the legislative process and when and how. And because of activists like you\, we were able to win real pro-transparency\, pro-participation reforms. \n\n\n\nBut what do these new rules mean? How can we ensure that they lead to the progressive policies we want? And what other reforms are necessary? \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for zoom link\n\n\n\n\nJoin Act on Mass\, Progressive Dems of Mass\, Progressive Mass\, Mass Sierra Club\, and 350 Mass for an update.

SUMMARY:Messaging for Solidarity: Race Class Narrative
DESCRIPTION:The opposition regularly uses racial fear as a tool to exploit economic realities and turn people against one another. The Race Class Narrative messaging and analysis help us fight back against these attacks to build solidarity across differences. Host of the Words to Win By podcast and Principal of ASO Communications\, Anat Shenker-Osorio examines why certain messages falter where others deliver. She has led research for new messaging on issues ranging from freedom to join together in union to clean energy and from immigrant rights to reforming criminal justice. Anat’s original approach through priming experiments\, task-based testing and online dial surveys has led to progressive electoral and policy victories across the globe. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for Link\n\n\n\n\nAnat delivers her findings packed in snark at venues such as the Congressional Progressive Caucus\, Centre for Australian Progress\, Irish Migrant Centre\, Open Society Foundations\, Ford Foundation and LUSH International. Her writing and research is profiled in the New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Boston Globe\, Salon\, The Guardian and Grist among others. She is the author of “Don’t Buy It: The Trouble with Talking Nonsense About the Economy”.

SUMMARY:All in for NC- organize NOW for the 2026 Senate seat
DESCRIPTION:Essential to stopping MAGA’s evil acts are state-based grassroots efforts built from the bottom-up to win and hold power. North Carolina is one of the key places to do that\, as evidenced by Sen. Tillis’s announcements of his opposition and his decision not to run for re-election.  Would Sen. Murkowski have joined him if she were up in 2026? \n\n\n\nWe at All In for NC try to focus during each two-year election cycle on a small number of places and organizations where we can add the most value to the great work of local North Carolina groups. \n\n\n\nThis fall\, we will focus on five counties in North Central to Northeast NC. From west to east\, they are Granville\, Vance\, Franklin\, Nash\, and Wilson counties. We will also continue our work in Mecklenburg County. \n\n\n\nWe are focusing on these counties because  \n\n\n\n\n Six of the eight closest races for state legislature in 2024 occurred there\, including the three statehouse victories that broke the Republican supermajority and gave Gov. Stein the ability to veto the stream of anti-democratic\, anti-reproductive health\, anti-public school\, and anti-gun safety laws the Republicans send him.  \n\n\n\nMost of them are in the swingiest Congressional District in the state\, CD -1\, which Don Davis won by 1.7% last year.  \n\n\n\nThese growth counties near the Triangle are typical of the swing parts of North Carolina and elsewhere. They range from 42\,300–95\,600 people. Each swing district in this area has a potential for more than 16\,000 voters per county for our candidates if we can reach\, persuade\, and then mobilize them.  Building power and winning elections here will be a model for rebuilding Democratic power in small-town and rural America.  Community groups—Down Home NC\, NC APRI\, Advance Carolina\, County to County—and county Democratic parties are building operations in these places and have asked for our help.\n\n\n\n\nThis month we are raising funds for this work already: Down Home NC Intensive Rural Organizing.  In September we will set up phone banks and begin canvassing for this work. \n\n\n\nIn addition to this new focus\, we will continue our work to build Democratic turnout in Mecklenburg County\, the largest pool of non-voting Democrats in the state and home to three other very close legislative districts—two held narrowly by Democrats\, one lost narrowly. We are in conversation with both the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party and outside groups about how best to support their work into the Fall and beyond. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link for July 28-meet us and strategize\n\n\n\nFund the work for the NC Senate Seat

SUMMARY:One Million Rising-Strategic Non-cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
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\, 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\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: The Moment & Your Mission – July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. \n\n\n\nSession 2: How to Make it Happen – July 30 This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy\, but how you can train others and get them on board. You’ll host your first community resistance gathering after this session. \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. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. \n\n\n\nSign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person\, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!
