Are you a budding activist but you’re not sure if you want to jump in with both megaphones?  Do you feel angry sometimes at our Federal Government?  When you watch the news do you think, “Gee, I wish I could do something about this mess?”  Well, Bay Area residents, now you can because Bay Resistance is providing free activist training programs.  Get organized, get educated, get in the game.

via actionnetwork.org – “Trainings will include how to build a sanctuary neighborhood, participate in direct action, win electoral campaigns, and get started in organizing. We have new trainings, a new campaign section and a special youth caucus. Whether you’re a new or experienced activist, there’s ways to skill up and find out how to plug in.”
