✊ After We March, We Organize! 🔥 Solidarity Warriors Indivisible Action Group 🗽

Virtual

Hosted by Solidarity Warriors Indivisible Action Group

Mass demonstrations like 🚫👑 No Kings prove one thing beyond doubt: the people are AWAKE and FIRED UP! 🔥 But rallying in the streets is just the beginning. The real power comes from what we do after the march. Research shows that no movement with 3.5% of the population in continuous mobilization has ever failed 📊 — but only when they go beyond demonstrations into mass noncooperation, noncompliance, and strategic action that dismantles the pillars holding up authoritarianism. That's exactly what we're here to build. 🛠️ Come learn the organizing skills we wish we had known from the start — and let's transform that protest energy into lasting, unstoppable change. 💪

Every week we feature guest speakers and training on topics like:

🛡️ How to Protest Safely 🌎 Immigrant Rights 🪶 Indigenous History 🔐 Cybersecurity ✊ Community Organizing Tactics and much more!

🌟 About Solidarity Warriors: We're an action-focused, Indivisible group 💥 born after the November election and proud lead organizers of No Kings 2 in Denver 🏔️. We're people from across the nation — many in Colorado — united by one commitment: action over grievance. 🎯 We don't just talk about what's wrong — we plan, organize, and partner with marginalized communities to make things right. ✊🏽

🚨 Come ready to answer one question: What are YOU going to DO? 👉 Join us. The movement needs you. 🗽

AI: Powerful Tool, Public Risk, & Our Democratic Responsibility

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Virtual

Hosted by NWSOFA Indivisible

AI: Powerful Tool, Public Risk, and Our Democratic Responsibility Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we research, learn, write, and solve problems._

However, as these systems gain the ability to generate realistic media, use digital tools, and act with growing autonomy, they also introduce urgent civic challenges—from convincing deepfakes and automated fraud to cyber threats and software acting beyond human intent.

Our guest speaker, Ed Spire will present in plain-English. Ed will separate realistic concerns from hype, examine recent real-world examples where AI agents exceeded their boundaries, and look at current national and international efforts to regulate emerging technology.

Beyond policy, we’ll explore how citizens can insist on meaningful human oversight, and how AI itself—combined with responsible engineering and accountable public institutions—can be used to strengthen cybersecurity, protect critical infrastructure, and safeguard our democratic systems. RSVP today to receive the Zoom link and join the discussion!

Stop Sexual Violence: From the Frat House to the White House

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Virtual

Hosted by Women’s March

We are f*cking livid about what happened to Jane Doe at Cornell University. So on October 8, we’re taking our rage to the streets. It starts with our organizing call where we'll lay out the plan and how to get plugged in.

On the call, you'll hear from Women's March and our partners at me too. International, FEMINIST, and Feminist Generation. We’ll discuss the plan to demand justice and accountability for Jane Doe and for every survivor on October 8th - survivors, feminists, and young people are calling for a national day of action to #StopSexualViolence.

We are done watching rapists be protected while survivors are punished. Cornell did it to Jane Doe, LSU did it to Kendall Francis, and abusers in power do it on every campus, in every courtroom, in every office, all the way up to the Oval Office.

From the frat house to the White House, we're taking them all down.

Pramila Jayapal's Resistance Lab: Virtual Organizing Training

Virtual

Hosted by Pramila for Congress

The Resistance Lab is a series of trainings that are developed specifically for this moment. We look at how non-violent movements around the world have responded to leaders who seize power in authoritarian ways and the most effective tools and tactics to utilize in these moments. We offer frameworks to understand this moment at home, and incorporate interactive conversation with others to help create community and build our resistance movement.

Interested in hosting an organizing training with your friends and family in September??

We'll show you how! Simply fill out this form: https://forms.gle/5B4XDqF8qh4zDjFX6!

Once submitted, a member of our team will reach out the week of the event with all the tools and resources you need to host a successful training.

Developed with experts who have researched and studied democratic backsliding around the world as well as in the United States and the non-violent movements that have emerged to challenge those authoritarian leaders.

Our goals are to help people understand how democracies fall and the most effective resistance movements that have challenged authoritarians and dictators; to turn anger, fear and frustration into action in the short-term while also preparing for a coordinated resistance movement for the longer term; and to build community across the country that can help grow our movement.

At the end of the day, we want to get people strike-ready and street-ready and make sure we protect our people, our freedoms and our democracy.
