Indicating your interest in training gives you first-access to our upcoming trainings with limited capacity. These include, but are not limited to:

  1. Know Your Rights and Spotting ICE - In private and public spaces, for citizens and non-citizens alike, how to identify and report ICE agents

  2. What’s happening, and how can we fight back? - What history tells us about this moment in time, and those in power who are making it happen

  3. Creative and Direct Tactics - Learn how to get creative with the tactics you and your group are using to fight back. History shows us a wide range of options that live in between those we think about most.

  4. Support Roles in the Movement - There’s a place for you in this movement, even if it’s not in the street. From mutual aid to legal support, de-escalation and marshal training to making art, and more.

  5. Leadership Development - We need a movement full of people ready to step up, and help lead. Trainings in things such as facilitation, decision making, and conflict resolution can make this easier to do in democratic and equitable ways.
