Protests, rallies, and marches are important tactics to fight back against the Trump Administration. Volunteer peacekeepers help ensure the intended message is delivered by keeping the event safe. Peacekeepers may direct traffic, de-escalate conflict if there are counter protesters, and support the success of the action. There is a significant need for more peacekeepers. There are a range of roles for volunteers who complete the training.
Join this virtual one hour training by experienced peacekeeper Elaine Almquist. The training will cover:
Commitment to non-violence, the purpose of peacekeeping, planning for safety, peacekeeping positioning, how peacekeeping differs from other roles, de-escalation, and debriefing.
A toothache shouldn’t kill. Join us for a vigil to honor and demand justice for our Dorchester neighbor, Emmanuel Damas, who was killed by medical negligence in ICE detention.

Join Mystic Mashup at local Citizen Bank branches to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business.
We’ll stand out on the public sidewalk in front of Citizens Banks in Medford Square and Davis Square on Saturdays from 11-12. (We’ll take a break on 3/28 so that we can attend No Kings III.)

A core principle behind all of these 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. Please do not block business entrances or traffic.

Join us for a 2 hour virtual training on civil resistance and noncooperation. We will cover the authoritarian threat, pillars of support, stories of noncooperation in these times, and how noncooperation has been used to defeat authoritarians and fascists.
Hosted by Freedom Trainers and Grassroots Democracy, this training offers practical training for community members who want to be ready when collective action escalates. The Strike Ready Corps team will cover the basics of how strikes work, the roles communities play beyond the workplace, safety and care planning, and how to coordinate support that can be sustained over time. Participants will leave clearer about what it actually takes to move from solidarity in words to solidarity in action.
Join us! We will write messages to voters about a specific upcoming election that the organization Postcards to Voters is promoting as most important at this time.
You will be asked to write about 10-20 postcards depending on time and attendance. This event is one-hour long.

Join Ken Martin, the Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Yasmin Radjy, the Executive Director of Swing Left, for a Zoom meeting hosted by grassroots leader Steve Schear to talk about how you can help Democrats win the midterms.
Winning the House and possibly the Senate is the most powerful and realistic way to limit the power of Trump and MAGA. Lorenza Ramirez, the DNC’s new Organizing Director, and Zack Malitz, Swing Left’s Managing Director, will also speak at the meeting about innovative new programs.
