TAKE ACTION!

We don’t have kings in America, and we won’t let a handful of billionaires run our country into the ground.

Thanks for joining the Rise for Freedom coalition for a series of live online trainings. To build on the momentum of the Rise for Freedom Nationwide Mass Training Series and strengthen future organizing efforts, we've been transitioning to solely in-person engagement through our ACLU Partnership. This extended 'Power & Purpose - Popular Education' activist training pipeline offers free, full-day, in-person sessions in several key states throughout the summer and fall. We still have the same goal of bringing people together, growing and strengthening their local networks, and preparing to mobilize and demand democracy in this new and challenging environment.

General Training Timeline: Saturdays, 9am - 4:30pm
All 2025 R4F X ACLU State Trainings:

*Trainings have already been held in Miami, FL and Detroit, MI. More in-person state trainings coming soon near you in 2026.

Why Trainings?

Trainings are critical for our movement because they:

  • Engage and recruit more people into the freedom and democracy movement

  • Educate and onboard new activists

  • Energize large numbers of people for mobilizing and create space for local organizing and planning

  • Elevate: train higher skill activists and new and younger movement  leadership

This training is for people who love our country and understand the threat of autocracy before us, and want to do something about it. If you’re moderate politically – this is your place! You are welcome and important here. If you’re a pro-democracy conservative – this is your place! You are welcome and important in these trainings. If you’re progressive, this training is for you.
