Rise for Freedom Training – Ann Arbor
About this event
The goal of the training series is to bring people together, grow & strengthen their local networks, and get ready to mobilize to demand democracy in this new challenging environment. We’ll be joining the trainings online with breakout sessions in-person. This training is a flexible tool that can help build for specific events as well as build existing and new local groups of people who can take action together. Make connections, learn skills, share resources and ideas, make some art, prepare for upcoming events, and be better equipped to fight for our democracy and our community!
The live online training series schedule:
*Thurs. April 24 Training: Harnessing Our Power to End Political Violence and Repression
*Thurs. May 8 Training: De-escalation & Advanced Strategic organizing skills
*Thurs. May 15 Training: Advanced Organizing Skills
