Mass demonstrations, like Hands Off!, NO KINGS, and Good Trouble Lives On, generate a tremendous amount of energy! We can't let that energy dissipate. We can harness it and turn it into action.
Come learn how to be an organizer and make change in your community. We'll teach you all the things we wish we'd known when we got started. We often have guest speakers on topics like Immigrant Rights, Indigenous History, Cybersecurity, How to Protest Safely, and more!
You've been asking what we can do beyond protesting. This is one of the next steps. Climate change and other important issues today won't wait for permission, and neither should we. Join Solidarity Warriors with guest speaker from Climate Defiance Colorado for a hands-on conversation about non-violent direct action and civil disobedience: the tactics, strategy, and the practical tools you need to put your body and your voice on the line for a livable future - or any issue you feel strongly about!
Non-violent direct action involves actions like sit-ins that could result in arrest, on purpose, to bring media and public attention to important but ignored issues and hold politicians and corporations accountable. It's a non-violent civil resistance tactic used by Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Greta Thunberg, and Desmond Tutu, just to name a few.
One of the first objectives of civil resistance movements is to attract more people to the movement and mobilize them into action. It has been demonstrated that no movement with 3.5% of the population engaged in continuous mobilization has ever failed - but they used other actions beyond mass demonstrations. Join us in planning actions to make this happen.
Solidarity Warriors is an action-focused, Indivisible group formed after the November election. We're one of the main groups organizing mass demonstrations in Denver. We're made up of people from across the nation, many in Colorado. We're focused on action rather than just airing political grievances, so please come prepared to talk about what you want to DO to resist the new administration and protect vulnerable communities.
