SUMMARY:ACLU People Power Action Event - March 11
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us on March 11 for a livestream viewing of the ACLU’s launch of People Power. We’ll watch the Resistance Training live and talk about next steps for organizing to resist Trump’s attacks on our basic freedoms. \nPlease RSVP here: \nhttps://go.peoplepower.org/event/attend/1227 \n\nNote about capacity: we’ve capped attendance at 75 but probably can fit around 50 folks. We know that not everyone will actually be able to make it. If you have arrived to the RSVP page (link above) after we’ve reached capacity\, you can still try to make the event\, as it’s always likely that some folks will not show up. We will have a list of RSVP’s at the door! Please try to arrive at 4:30 given how many attendees we have. We will try to admit those who might not have been able to RSVP around 4:45\, until our space is full. Thanks for your interest!\n\nThe schedule for the day\, FYI: 4:30-5\, introductions and strategic intentions 5-6\, national training lifestream 6-6:30\, group discussion We’ve got to leave at 6:30 to clear the space for an evening event! So looking forward to meeting you.\n  \n\n From the American Civil Liberties Union website:\n“In the weeks following President Donald Trump’s inauguration\, we have seen the harms that his policies cause people around the world and the danger his actions represent for our civil liberties. Trump’s use of executive power has prompted the protest and defiance of millions\, echoing the voices of many who know that our basic American values are being tested by our president. \nThe ACLU will continue to defend our basic freedoms and hold this administration accountable for every unlawful or unconstitutional measure they propose. We will use the courts as one avenue to aggressively advance our agenda\, but we cannot do it alone. \nThat is why the ACLU is launching a major new grassroots mobilization platform\, PeoplePower.org\, in response to the growing number of people who believe that Trump’s actions cannot go unchallenged. \nWe’ve hired a group of digital organizers who have worked with activist groups\, the White House\, and Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign to help build and launch PeoplePower.org. With this platform\, we hope to help organize the mass resistance to President Trump’s bankrupt policies. With a nationwide presence through our 50-plus state affiliates\, the ACLU is well-positioned to take on the incredible responsibility of grassroots organizing coast to coast. This type of program is new for us at ACLU\, but it is necessary if we are going to overcome the Trump administration’s attempts to curtail civil rights and eventually advance a 21st century civil liberties agenda. \nOn March 11\, the ACLU will hold a “Resistance Training” town hall in Miami\, Florida. An email ask went out today to the organization’s over 2.5 million members to organize thousands of grassroots events in communities across the country to watch the ACLU town hall. Full details on the training are forthcoming. \nPeoplePower.org will use digital tools to communicate with and help train volunteers to resist President Trump’s unlawful policies across the country. The ACLU will promote ideas for action to defend sanctuary cities\, resist deportation raids\, oppose the Muslim Ban\, maintain Planned Parenthood funding\, and support other priorities. But the program will also seek to amplify organic\, bottom-up grassroots actions. PeoplePower.org will be a one-stop hub for everyone looking to influence the national debate. \nWe ask you to join us as we build communities ready to resist Trump’s agenda and to protect our constitutional rights. The fight may not be easy\, but it will be worth it.” \nSuggested donation of $5 – $10 to support the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
