The return of Mark-Your-Calendar Monday!
Item 1. Upcoming events
All of these events are virtual, and all are free unless otherwise noted.
- Tonight, 7/21, 5:30-6:30pm ET or Wednesday, 8/6, 3-4pm ET ➡️ Want to avoid going into flight/freeze/fawn mode when you witness someone being harassed? ➡️ Right to Be hosts online workshops in Bystander Intervention to Stop Anti-Asian/American and Xenophobic Harassment. They also have a Bystander Intervention to Support the Immigrant Community training this Thursday, 7/24.
- Tomorrow, 7/22, 8pm ET ➡️ Want to know if your local law enforcement is collaborating with ICE – and urge them to stop if so? Join the latest #DisappearedinAmerica Talk to Your Sheriff training from the Not Above the Law Coalition.
- Next Tuesday, 7/29, 8pm ET ➡️ Is your community experimenting with ICE defense? Siembra NC's Defend & Recruit will host a Peer Coaching Circle for groups working on this in any U.S. state. There is also one this Wednesday that's specifically for folks in red states.
- Saturdays, 8/16 or 9/20, 1pm ET ➡️ Partisan voter registration is a thing. Join Field Team 6 to learn how you can register Dems ahead of November elections.
- Thurs, 8/21, 7-8:30 ➡️ If registering Democrats in a swing state is a harm reduction tactic that doesn't go down easy, you could chase it with the smooth elixir that is a Working Families Party Nationwide Welcome Gathering.
- Multiple dates ➡️ Clarify your message + amplify your voice. The Op-Ed Project's Write to Change the World two-day seminars are not free, but they do offer scholarships. If you've ever thought of writing a letter to the editor, they are worthwhile.
