Greetings Friends and Comrades! It’s time for your APRIL Solidarity Skills and Strategies Training day on Saturday, April 26 in the Gym at Judson! These ongoing events are free and open to everyone—whether you're new or experienced—because these skills are vital to our collective power. We’re here to build, design, and strategize together, not just react to what we’re facing!
This practical, activist-rooted day of trainings has been coordinated by autonomous organizers and change makers working in mutual aid, community care, immigration justice, housing rights, climate action, and more. Please RSVP to help us prepare, set up our space, and implement safety measures!
This event is a collaboration between The Collective Power and Strategy Assembly and Mutual Aid On The Ground Care Working Group (with support from Judson’s Health and Safety Working Group). Whether you join one session or the whole day, come ready to share, learn, and remember that we are powerful creators of change.
