Jeanne —

The smoke makes it clearer than ever: something’s gotta change…truly, deeply, and permanently.

In the coming months, facing intersecting crises in climate, racial justice, pandemic, and democracy, we’ll need to be nimble and powerful to help make that change. Please learn with us, so that we can be effective and wise too.

With amazing lineups in our Pledge of Reistance Take to the Streets trainings, our Racial Justice is Climate Justice series, and the 350.org Solidarity School, we’ve got you covered: the full list is below. Trainings are being added regularly, please check our trainings page!

TODAY AND TOMORROW

Today from 6-7:30 pm, we’re hosting a Know Your Rights training run by the Lawyers Guild. Register here. Learn how to protect your federally-granted constitutional rights during encounters with law enforcement officers (read more on Facebook).

Then tomorrow (9/17), join us at 6pm for the second of our Climate Justice is Racial Justice webinars. Nikkita Oliver, Jerrell Davis, and Oloth Insyxiengmay will be talking about the fight to Defund the Police. Register here.

Again, trainings are being added regularly, please check our trainings page!

In smoke and pandemic, we’re constrained in many ways—but it’s an ideal time for online learning….please join us!

In solidarity,
350 Seattle

During this challenging time, we face the pandemics of Covid-19 and racism, as well as climate crisis and potential election chaos. As organizers and activists, we know now is the time to be in the streets if you can, or to be supportive from home. There is always a possibility of being arrested, and it’s important to understand your rights and have a legal and jail support plan. We will share some basic information about the process of arrest as well as how to support those who may be arrested. We will highlight things to think about before, during, and after actions. It’s not rocket science, but it is important to be prepared so that you can stay safe and strong (read more on Facebook).
