WIN the Midterms, ENFORCE the results: A SURJ Direct Action Training Series

**This is a 3-part training series, please sign up for all three!** **Recordings will be sent after the training if you have to miss any, though please try to be there live!** As white people organizing for racial justice, we know what's at stake in this moment. We know that the billionaires see multi-racial democracy as a threat to their power, so they use race and class to divide us so that we don't join together to build the world we deserve - a world with clean air and water, fully funded schools, healthcare for all, free accessible childcare; a world of racial and economic justice. Power holders are so threatened by our power that they are not only scapegoating our black, brown, immigrant, and trans neighbors to distract us from their corruption, they are also working in earnest to dismantle our democracy in order to cement their wealth and power. We know that white people have an outsized influence in both the electoral and political spheres, which is why Showing up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is working hard to move white people to both WIN the midterm elections by big margins so that they are hard to contest and then ENFORCE the election results. In order to enforce our wins after the midterms, we will have to engage in direct action noncooperation by disrupting business as usual and refusing to cooperate with MAGA's attempts to steal our votes. In these direct action noncooperation trainings we will learn: **Training one:** * Our strategy from now until the election * Why we need to engage in noncooperation * Why noncooperation is white people’s work * What is noncooperation and why is it strategic * What will our potential targets and actions be? * Tips to build your crew who will take action with you **Training two:** * How to design a powerful action * What roles are needed at actions * Protest safety **Training three:** * Setting the tone for your action * Messaging and visuals * Documenting your action * Media Please join us for this three part series an
