Faith, Community, and Resistance: Organizing for 2025 and Beyond
Join us in the great work of resisting the rising tide of authoritarianism, fostering durable communities, and helping to build a stronger democracy than we had before! The day will offer multiple opportunities for spiritual grounding, community building, and skills development–all towards the end of claiming the power we DO have.
This event is faith-rooted but not faith exclusive, recognizing that unprecedented challenges require unprecedented collaboration. People from all congregations and community groups are welcome, as are people who are not connected to a group. Whoever you are, we invite you to consider coming as a team of two or more. Bring fellow congregants, activists, friends, and/or neighbors to get grounded, connected, and inspired!

Registration is on a sliding scale from $0 to $50, with $25 being the standard fee. This allows us to provide a light breakfast, full lunch, and snacks. Register here!
Youth Participation and Childcare
High school students are invited to participate in the program on their own, and middle school students are invited to participate in the organizing school with an adult present. Use the same registration link as adults.
We plan to offer childcare for ages Pre-K to 5th grade, which might be either in one group or two depending on the registration numbers. You can register for childcare here.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer care for infants or toddlers who require naps. We simply do not have the facilities to do it safely. Sorry!
