SUMMARY:Community Resilience\, Readiness and Resistance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Building our capacity for resilience is an important component of the community organizing work we’re doing here in eastern Massachusetts. The current administration is going to be in power at least through January 2029. That is 30+ more months. They have only been in power for 12 months so far\, which means that we are only about 20% of the way through this presidential term. Figuring out ways to stay engaged will be critical because we are all needed – particularly as we become more comfortable with being engaged in resistance activity and as we move into noncooperation activities. We can each find our own ways of making this work sustainable but it will take some openness to learning\, experimentation\, and practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the face of increasing authoritarianism\, this workshop will provide a framework for cultivating readiness and resilience as foundations for long-term resistance\, personal and collective care\, and preparedness for other challenges that lie ahead. Participants will leave with concrete steps for building personal\, household\, community\, and organizational resilience and strengthening our movement to build a democracy that works for everyone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Rebecca Riccio\, the BTC is a group of volunteer activists and organizers associated with a variety of racial and social justice-oriented organizations in Greater Boston.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$10 Donation Suggested to support BTC and provide afternoon snacks!! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHighland Ave & Surrounding Streets: 2-hour visitor parking with meters. Note: Somerville residents permits take priority on many streets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMunicipal Lots: Grove Street Lot A (Rite Aid Lot) at Grove St. & Highland Ave and Grove Street Lot B between Highland Ave and Elm St. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates\n\n\n\n\n\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.
