On Sunday, August 24th at 6pm, before the Ice Cream Social, join the Democracy Action Team for our second One Million Rising Resistance Gathering. Our conversation will center around the theme, “What’s the plan?”. We’ve now completed all of the trainings and it is time to get into action. We will discuss several options for the kinds of action which our Fellowship is uniquely suited to support
One Million Rising (https://www.nokings.org/rise) is a training framework designed to provide ordinary Americans with the skills and language to describe, organize, and respond to this moment of profound danger to American Democracy. So far, we have learned about the Authoritarian Playbook (https://www.authoritarianplaybook2025.org/) and the Pillars of Power (https://www.authoritarianplaybook2025.org/what-we-can-do#what-worked-last-time).
On August 13th, we heard about national causes efforts already underway that our group could undertake. At this gathering, we will discuss these national efforts as well as local campaigns already under way to which we might lend ourselves.
Consider coming an hour early before the Ice Cream Social, whether you have been there for every training or this is your first time; preserving our democracy will take all of us. See you there!
What is One Million Rising?
Here is a description from the organizers:
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just single days of mass action, but sustained organizing in our communities.
That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.
