We’ll be joined by Erica Chenoweth, who will share insights on nonviolent resistance and how people-powered movements can shape what comes next. Together, we’ll dig into the path ahead—from protecting democracy to building local power in the face of rapid change.
We hope you’ll be there—these calls are a powerful way to connect, learn, and take action together!
