A number of extremely dangerous scenarios seem all too plausible. We need to be prepared for rapid response to defend to the vote.

The folks at Freedom Trainers want to make sure we’ve got the key tools we need for whatever arises as part of their Strike Ready campaign: knowing who to listen to and trust when it’s time to act, who we should mobilize and how to do it, and what we’ll need to do locally to show up together in mass protest for as long as it takes. 🏫 They’re holding brief, 30-minute trainings on the essentials at noon, 3PM ET and 8PM ET this Thursday. Let’s sign up to get up to speed with them here.
