SUMMARY:To Win Our Survival: Building the Next Era of our Movements
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, facilitators Daisy Carter and Rebecca Harris from The Climate Mobilization Project will invite participants to reflect on the moment we’re in\, and where movements for peace and climate justice can go from here. Building on Climate Mobilization Project’s work with food sovereignty\, mutual aid\, climate justice and anti-war groups in Kentucky and Virginia\, we will share tools for participants to explore their role in supporting survival programs that expand access to climate disaster preparedness\, food\, care\, and more while growing movements for climate\, economic\, and racial justice. \nSurvival programs are a bold new approach to growing movements that have enough people power to fight back.Groups across the U.S. have come together to build a mass grassroots movement with the power and resources to win our survival. We are growing this movement by organizing people into grassroots projects that grow a regenerative economy and culture; expand food\, energy\, water\, and land access and sovereignty; and fight back together against the systems that threaten our lives and communities. \n \n  \nDaisy Carter (she/they) is a New Orleans native\, queer multi-disciplinary artist\, yogi and climate justice organizer working at the intersections of mutual aid\, disaster resiliency\, African-American herbalism\, and grassroots organizing. Daisy is inspired by the black radical movements of the so-called U.S and African diaspora\, reimagining what healing + self-determination look like for frontline\, BIPOC (black\, brown\, and people of color) communities who are most vulnerable to climate disaster. For the past few years\, they have been organizing around mutual aid\, environmental + climate justice\, and building BIPOC and marginalized leadership throughout Kentucky. In 2021\, they founded Rise and Shine\, a community-led mutual aid organization building power and solidarity with low-income\, BIPOC\, LGBTQ+\, and other marginalized communities in Bowling Green\, Kentucky and beyond. She has also led numerous political campaigns\, direct actions\, and led outreach + communications strategy for organizations such as The Sierra Club\, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth\, and the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for a Moral Revival. At the Climate Mobilization\, she is supporting programming\, the development of the Movement Incubation Program\, and the creation of climate survival projects. \nRebecca Harris (she/her) is Resource Organizing Director and Co-Leader at Climate Mobilization Project. She first began organizing at age 16 during the movement to end the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. After years of organizing for economic justice and housing rights\, she joined Climate Mobilization Project as Organizing Director\, a role in which she coached dozens of local climate groups\, launched the campaign for a national Climate Emergency Declaration\, and supported the organization in its increasing focus on racial and economic justice and anti-militarism. Rebecca previously worked as a journalist covering equity in Chicago public schools and as the Development and Communications Manager at Latino Union of Chicago\, an immigrants’ and workers’ rights organization. She is a 2017 graduate of the Reframe Mentorship in strategic communications. \n \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:Concord 250 Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Concord250 Planning Committee of the Arise & Resist Coalition \nWe are planning an anti-authoritarian outreach event at Concord250 on Saturday\, April 19\, a commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Thousands—potentially hundreds of thousands—will gather for a parade\, drone show\, and other local happenings throughout the day. Invitations have been extended to notable figures such as Donald Trump and King Charles III. \nThis will be a great opportunity to make a stand in front of a mass audience and appeal to attendees who are interested in joining local organizations for change. Our plan is to distribute handouts that feature shocking statistics and a list of local organizations working to resist or combat the issues at hand. \nOur core message is resisting the rise of authoritarianism in the United States led by extremist right-wing billionaires. We want to draw folks’ attention with anti-authoritarian sentiments that are widely agreed upon\, and then encourage participation in local groups/organizations that are fighting back and assisting communities in need. \nWe will meet at the Concord rail station at 1:30 for orientation.  Volunteers will then fan out in the area to distribute brochures and talk to attendees.  Meet back at the rail station at 4:00 to debrief.  Be sure to sign up to get full information\, do not just show up in Concord without contacting organizers ahead of time.   Do not drive to Concord without a parking plan. \nSign up here
