Mobilization 101: Standing Up for Immigrant Communities & Resisting Authoritarianism
by Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ)
Across the country, immigrant communities are under attack and authoritarian forces are gaining ground. But there’s a growing movement of people ready to take action with clarity, courage, and discipline. This training is for all of us who want to stand up in solidarity, especially those of us who are white who are ready to organize, respond, and show up with commitment and care.
Join us for Mobilization 101, a powerful two-part training series hosted by Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) and Solidarity Organizing Initiative (SOI). We’ll break down the political moment we’re in, the authoritarian playbook driving these attacks, and the role those of us who are white and/or citizens can play in pushing back effectively and strategically.
In the June 17 session, you’ll:
Learn to recognize and anticipate “Moments of Crisis” — and why they’re central to the authoritarian strategy
Understand how direct support and crisis response work together in immigrant justice organizing
Get grounded in the principles of strategic noncooperation and how it builds people power
See how you can plug into this political moment which required mobilization and take real action this summer
In the second session on June 24, you will:
Learn how to provide direct support for immigrant communities
Get clear on next steps you're taking in your community
Please sign up for both dates!
Whether you’re brand new or have been in the fight for years, this training will give you political clarity, strategic tools, and an invitation to join us in deeper solidarity. This is just the beginning, let’s get ready together.
