Resistance Lab: Presented by Brooklyn Resisters

https://www.mobilize.us/handsoffnyc/event/900227/

Our event, which we are calling Resistance Lab, is open to everyone! We would love it if you joined us, even if you’ve never joined before.  Come meet your neighbors, participate in some community building, and learn more about all the different ways you can fight back.  

We will have music from our own Oscar Owens and dance courtesy of the Cynthia King dance company, a reading from Saul Austerlitz, and then an opportunity to fold zines, put together whistle kits, make craft projects, and more.  

We have 2,000 whistles to give away, so you can also take some home with you to give out to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues.  I’ve tested the new whistles, and they are loud!

Please come, and bring the people in your life who have been telling you that they really want to do more, but don’t quite know how.
