We are Meeting the Moment: Building Solidarity Through Training and Community

Dear Colleague,

We are uniting with labor unions across the state of New Jersey to fight back against the increased presence of ICE in our communities and rising authoritarianism. Alongside NJEA, College Council, SEIU 32BJ, CWA, and others, we will be hosting a series of in-person trainings so that we can mobilize collectively to respond to the threats our communities are facing in locations across the state. We’ll talk about resisting authoritarianism, collective action, asserting our rights, and community-based rapid response. Dinner will be provided.

It will take all of us to defend our neighbors and protect our democracy. We encourage you to join us at one of the following training sessions. Please note that the final three locations have dates to be determined:
