One Million Rising: Standing Up to Authoritarianism

by Susan Smith

Many of you expressed interest in One Million Rising — a national effort by Indivisible and others to build mass resistance against the authoritarian takeover of our government.

I’ve attended the first two trainings and will be joining the third on August 13. These sessions have been eye-opening, exploring how countries fall to authoritarian rule and what citizens can do to push back. The third session will focus on connecting with both local and national groups working toward the same goal.

If this resonates with you, I encourage you to:
1. Watch the first two sessions and

2. Register for the third session at: One Million Rising — No Kings

Afterwards, I’d love to hear your thoughts — and perhaps we can gather to discuss what actions we can take together.

I’m also participating in the ACLU’s People Power training, which shares this same mission. Learn more at: People Power | American Civil Liberties Union.

Now is the moment to get informed, get connected, and take action. Let’s rise together!
