RISE UP/SING OUT!

On June 14, the Committee for the

First Amendment will be hosting Rise

Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First

Amendment, an uplifting evening of

song, solidarity, and action. Featuring

an all-star line-up of performers, this

90-minute concert event will celebrate

the freedoms guaranteed by our First

Amendment—of speech, religion,

press, assembly, and protest—and the

people power that both fuels these

rights and is essential to guarantee them.

Even as authoritarians increase their

attacks on our freedoms and

communities, we see examples across

the country of people rising up

together, taking action, and turning

back those forces.

The event will be streamed with watch

parties all across the country—so

wherever you are, you can sing along,

find inspiration in the performances,

build community, and take

meaningful action together.

USING ELECTIONS

TO COUNTER AUTHORITARIANISM

NONCOOPERATION 101

It is not a question of whether those in

power will try to steal the elections;

the recent Callais decision makes clear

that authoritarians are already doing

everything they can to grab power and

keep us from voting. Our task is clear.

Fight, win, prove, and enforce free and

fair elections. With that in mind,

Freedom Trainers has revamped

its Noncooperation 101 Training,

to emphasize a focus on

election protection and preparedness. 

Join us for a 2-hour virtual training on

civil resistance and noncooperation.

We will cover the authoritarian threat,

how to defeat it, and especially focus

on countering the all-out assault on

our elections and freedom to vote at a

scale matching the severity of the

threat. Participants will leave with

concrete steps for taking action.

TRAINING FOR ATTORNEYS

FOR GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON

We are facing the most brazen

rollback of civil rights in generations.

Congressman Lewis, we continue the

fight for voting rights with “Good

Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action

(GTLO)” from July 17-19.

Join us for a training to learn how you

as an attorney, can help provide legal

knowledge and support for one of the

nationwide voter registration events

in your area.

We will also discuss other ways you

can help, including: Legal Observers

for Voter Registration, Rallies,

Marches and other Public Events;

Speakers at Teach Ins, Faith Based

Events and Other Events; Election

Protection Hotline Volunteer; Legal

Friend to Grassroots & Voter

Assistance Groups and for Faith

Based Groups; Developers of Know

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:

IN-PERSON PHONE-BANKING

WITH EQUALITY FLORIDA!

Help Engage New Volunteers and

Forge New Community Connections!

Do you want to help grow Florida

LGBTQ+ people power and connect

with other members of the

community? Pride month is here, and

that means we’re recruiting more

volunteers than any other time of the

year. That means we need dedicated

volunteers like you to help ensure

these new volunteers are

plugged into the work!

We will be calling newly registered

volunteers and helping them navigate

their journey as a volunteer. Since

phone banking is vital to the growth of

any movement, this is an excellent

chance not only to meet like-minded

peers and build queer people power,

but also develop valuable skills

for activist work.

We will be providing free food and drinks!!

Don’t have experience phone-banking?

No problem!

Whether you’re a veteran phone

banker or have never tried it, we

NEED your help! We will provide

training for inexperienced phone

bankers to ensure you start

making calls with confidence!

YOUTH CANVASSING

SUPER SATURDAY @ USF TAMPA

People Power for Florida, GenCleo,

and Youth Action Fund are on a

mission to build a youth movement of

students and alumni from campuses

across the state that vote in every

single election and build a Democracy

that works for everyday people –

Not Billionaires.

When we engage with students on a

year-round basis on the issues that

matter to them, we can turn agony and

helplessness into real meaningful

action and turn sporadic & inactive

voters into active voters and

disruptors. This is why we are starting

EARLY in 2026 knocking student

doors and making our case for why

NOW is the time for students to rise up.

Never knocked doors before? No

worries! Our team will provide you

with all the training you need as well

as pairing you up with an experienced

canvasser – so you never have to

knock doors alone!
