Overview
Overview:
Resistance School is a free four-week practical training program that will sharpen the tools we need to fight back at the federal, state, and local levels. Our goal is to keep the embers of resistance alive through concrete learning, community engagement, and forward-looking action.
We believe that both long-time activists and new additions to the movement need to forge effective offensive strategies to secure progressive victories. Throughout April, we invite you to join with neighbors, friends, or classmates to participate in livestreamed interactive workshops with renowned political campaigners, communicators, and organizers. Each of the skills they’ll showcase is critical to amplifying our collective impact.
Together we’ll learn how to:
- Communicate our values in political advocacy (Session One)
- Mobilize and organize our communities (Session Two)
- Structure and build capacity for action (Session Three)
- Sustain the resistance long-term (Session Four)
We are a group of progressive graduate students at Harvard who came together in response to the election of Donald Trump, with a shared desire to help transform our country to better reflect our shared values. Our team includes former staffers from the Obama, Bernie, and Hillary presidential election campaigns; community organizers; advocates for human rights, campaign finance reform, and veterans’ affairs; and journalists for publications in the US and abroad.
Details:
- Length: Four weeks
