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.

RESIST FACISM WEEKLY EVENT

Join us for our weekly rally in Sarasota

to resist fascism, get ICE off our

streets, and support Social Security.

Meet like-minded people who are

standing up for our rights. Help save

the Social Security we paid for and our

families are paying for.

No Trump “ICE GOONS”

in Sarasota schools!

No concentration camps!

No kidnapping of innocent people!

This is a local, Sarasota-based,

grassroots rally by Indivisible

Sarasota. WE ARE SEEN BY 2,500-

3,000 VEHICLES EACH WEEK! We

meet outside the Social Security office,

at the intersection of Siesta Drive and

South Tamiami Trail. The big sign

there is for the restaurant, Flemings.

The rally is in the shade and during

morning rush hour, so it will be

relatively cool but with a lot of

visibility. Parking is right across Siesta

Drive in the empty shopping mall

parking lot. By persisting week after

week, we are showing the people of

Sarasota that we are in this for the

long term and will persevere as long as

necessary. Expect lots of supportive

honking of horns.

Bring your own sign about Social

Security or any other topic related to

the resistance against the MAGA

attack on our democracy. See you there!
