Efforts to silence and miseducate the young are as old as the hills. But efforts by college administrators and many politicians to shred the First Amendment on campuses have reached a new low. Yet students continue to organize against militarism abroad and the fascistic politics now in control of the U.S. government. With the need for effective, nonviolent action to combat these forces, supplying organizers with the knowledge and tools to support these efforts has never been more urgent. The Teach-In Network is committed to mobilizing people who refuse to stay silent as the government squanders hundreds of billions annually on immoral wars — spreading death and destruction abroad while ignoring the urgent needs of people here at home. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to sign up for updates. And we invite you to register now for a free national teach-in on How to Protest, hosted by the Teach-In Network. This virtual event, scheduled for Wednesday, January 29, at 5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern, will bring together experienced organizers to share tactics for mobilizing people on campuses and elsewhere in your community, while understanding your legal rights amid rising repression. We will be joined by these speakers: - Linda Sarsour, Organizer, Strategist, Author and Co-Founder of Until Freedom, Women’s March, and MPower Change;
- Rachel Small, Canada Organizer for World BEYOND War
- Jeffrey Sterling, Lawyer, Author, and CIA Whistleblower;
- Professors Sean Malloy and Christine Hong, organizers of the University of California People’s Tribunal.
