Indivisibles,

Our first One Million Rising call was electric. The chat was full, we
broke Zoom again (sorry for anyone inconvenienced), our guest speakers
broke down complex topics in digestible ways, and we left feeling a little
more hopeful and a lot more confident that we can fight back. [ [link removed] ]You can
watch the July 16 training here.

So let’s keep it going with part two of the series. [ [link removed] ]Join us for One
Million Rising: How to Make it Happen next Wednesday, July 30 at 8pm
ET/5pm PT.

[ [link removed] ]One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight
Authoritarianism. Join our training series to turn local action into
national impact

In the first [ [link removed] ]One Million Rising session, we focused on the state of
play and what it means to adopt a tactic of strategic non-cooperation. In
our second, we’ll be talking about how to take that new knowledge, make it
understandable, and share it with others in your networks.

We are building toward training one million people in how to resist
Trump’s authoritarian takeover from the bottom up, but it’s going to take
your help and your leadership to make it happen. Come to our second One
Million Rising session to go beyond strategy, dig into the importance of
getting this tactic out to your community, and learn how you can plan a
community gathering to make it happen.

Session One State of Play Recap

We are in the period where a would-be authoritarian (Trump) attempts to
rapidly consolidate power, eliminate checks on that power, and operate
with impunity -- this moment is referred to as an authoritarian
breakthrough. Right now, that looks like Trump deploying the military in
LA, firing thousands of qualified federal employees, exponentially
increasing the budget of ICE, and so much more.

The important thing to remember: This isn’t new or unique to the United
States -- which means we know the winning tactics from other moments in
our history and from across the globe it’ll take to fight back. 

The key to stopping any momentum toward authoritarianism isn’t to attack
the would-be ruler at the top, but to chip away at the vital
institutions and communities that uphold their power, causing the entire
house of cards to come tumbling down. 

This is how we fight back against Trump’s authoritarian takeover -- by
identifying our influence with the pillars of support his regime depends
upon and convincing them to participate in strategic non-cooperation.

This approach gives us a historically effective means to fight back
against Trump’s power grab with a simple tool all of us have access to:
people power. There are thousands of ways to go about chipping away at
his support, but they all involve activating those around us. 

This is the critical moment to build the opposition we need to fight
back. It is vital that we recruit, train, and mobilize a critical mass
of people now before Trump’s authoritarian regime has fully consolidated
power. And that’s what we need you to do.

Our first session laid the foundation, our second session will give you
the preparation you need to share with your community, and then, in
between our second and third sessions, we’re inviting all participants to
bring together friends, families, and associates and try out spreading
what you’ve learned to more people. Finally, for the third session, you’ll
be onboarded to basic campaign design, learn how to implement it locally,
and we’ll give you the scoop on some national campaigns you can plug into
right away. 

One Million Rising is not about us, it’s about you. It’s about you finding
your voice as we fight back against this authoritarian regime. It’s about
you cultivating conversations that will lead to a stronger, broader
movement. And, it’s about you seizing your power and tearing down Trump’s
power-grab from the foundations. 

If you missed it, we recommend you [ [link removed] ]watch the first session before next
Wednesday. We’ll be building on that information to give you the
confidence you need to lead a conversation about this tactic in your
community. [ [link removed] ]Join us next Wednesday, July 30, and let’s learn how to talk
about stopping the spread of authoritarianism through strategic
non-cooperation.
