SUMMARY:Block by Block Training & Action Series | Virtual Training by SURJ
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our ‘Block by Block’ Training & Action Series—a hands-on program designed to help you launch and lead a team for 2026 national campaign! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlock by Block is SURJ’s 2026 national campaign to elect champions for working people\, block MAGA\, and fight for the future we deserve. We do this through three strategies: Mobilize through mass action\, Elect working class champions\, and Grow a strong\, active base. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis online training series is designed to train and support new groups\, circles and chapters to run Block by Block: Solidarity Rising in your communities for the rest of the year. Groups will deepen organizing skills\, align with national strategy\, and be ready to take action locally. We’ll meet every other week online for training. On the off weeks\, your group will gather locally to practice skills\, grow your base\, and take action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis training series will consist of three modules\, each focused on one part of our strategy: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrow Module — March 4 & 18\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn how to bring new people into your group\, plug them into meaningful roles\, build strong and accountable teams\, and develop leaders who can carry the work forward. Growing our base is essential to winning—this is how we build the scale and discipline needed to carry out Block by Block for the rest of the year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMobilize Module — April 1\, 15 & 29\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet trained to organize coordinated\, strategic action using tools of mass noncooperation. Prepare to move quickly when our rights and democracy are threatened\, and build toward May Day: A Day Without Workers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElect Module — May 13\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn why governing power is a key part of our strategy and the role your circle\, chapter\, or group can play in supporting progressive candidates and blocking MAGA power. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this series\, your group will be ready to grow your base\, mobilize for action\, and take part in electoral strategy. We’ll provide all the structure\, toolkits\, and guidance you need to plug into our national program and make a real difference—block by block. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage at least one member from every group\, circle\, or chapter to join\, but ideally more! Sign up for all the sessions—even if you can’t make them all\, we’ll send recordings so you won’t miss anything. And for more info on the Block by Block campaign\, check out the 1-pager. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Details

SUMMARY:Callais Decision Update Rapid Response Call
DESCRIPTION:Join the No Kings Coalition as we break down the ins and outs of the Callais decision\, what this means for you\, and the future. You will hear from leaders from LDF\, ACLU\, and more. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nEffectively freed of the VRA’s barriers against racist gerrymandering\, GOP-led states could add as many as nineteen new Republican-leaning seats to the GOP House caucus in the coming years and hundreds of Republican seats at the state level — bringing conservatives closer to their dream of a permanent House majority. \n\n\n\nReclaiming our voting rights from Trump and the authoritarian systems working feverishly to strip us of what’s constitutionally ours will be neither easy nor quick. But on Thursday\, we’ll take our first step toward disrupting their plans\, together. Join us on the call\, and please spread the word to friends and family\, and on your social channels. \n\n\n\nFolks living in states where minority-majority districts are about to come under attack — Alabama\, Louisiana\, Florida\, Georgia\, Mississippi\, South Carolina\, and Tennessee — will face the immediate impacts of this ruling\, but Callais threatens voting everywhere. And recall that our multi-racial\, gender-inclusive\, one-person-one-vote democracy didn’t even truly exist until 1965 when the law that Roberts has dedicated his life to overturning was first passed. \n\n\n\nThe 14th Amendment gave Black men the right to citizenship and a pathway for them to vote in 1868\, and the 19th Amendment enfranchised Black women in 1920\, but Jim Crow laws prevented millions from actually casting a ballot — until 1965. Our true\, if unsteady\, democracy was then dealt a massive blow in 2013 when the Roberts Court began gutting the VRA with Shelby County v. Holder. Today’s ruling threatens to reverse what remained of those decades of progress.  \n\n\n\nWe can’t pretend that the situation isn’t dire. Callais likely comes too late to have a direct impact on the midterms\, but we expect GOP-led states to very quickly craft proposals to disenfranchise Black and Brown voters in time for 2027 state legislative elections and 2028 federal elections. We need our backlash to meet and exceed that intensity. \n\n\n\nWithout control of any branch of the federal government right now\, these fights will be carried out on the state level. Over the coming weeks\, months\, and years\, we’ll provide ways to tap into those fights\, from wherever you live\, by engaging directly and nonviolently or by supporting civil rights orgs leading the way.  \n\n\n\nA Supreme Court ruling is no small matter\, but we the people — in particular\, Black and Brown Americans — have opposed tyranny in the past. The road may be longer than we hoped\, but we will win. Again. \n\n\n\nIn solidarity\,Indivisible Team \n\n\n\nBy registering for this event\, you agree: (1) that Indivisible and ACLU can contact you about No Kings and other ways to take action or support their organizations and otherwise use any data collected from or about you on this form according to the applicable privacy policy: Indivisible Privacy Policy (https://indivisible.org/privacy-policy) and ACLU’s Privacy Statement (https://www.aclu.org/about/privacy/statement); and (2) subject to its privacy policy\, Indivisible may also share the information you provide to other No Kings partner organizations\, which may also contact you.
