Goals for the spokes council include but is not limited to:
1) Deeping Relationships for activists (NGOs, Unions, Affinity Groups, collectives, etc all included)
2) Coordinating (big) Actions, Cross movement building and building power around actions.
3) Plug in, onboarding, base building, pushing folks further up the ladder of engagement.
4) Awareness and Education
5) Strengthen DC Autonomy.

With the need for continued action in DC, Resist This is organizing our third spokes council for DC-area organizations and affinity groups on May 21st from 5:30 pm to 8 pm.

This space is for coordinating upcoming actions or other events, strengthening relationships between local groups and organizations, and plugging in interested new activists. It’s important that we come together to defend our communities in the time of Trump, to build connections and capacity for the long haul struggle, and to lift each other up.

From 5:30 to 6, there will be an orientation to the spokes council model for those unfamiliar with or who would like a refresher on the process. There will also be a workshop at this time on what an affinity group is.

The spokes council will begin at 6 pm and end around 8 pm. There will be time after the spokes to connect with other activists and organizations one-on-one.

Please join us May 21st, and bring along folks from your organization or cluster. Childcare and ASL translation will be provided as requested. RSVP today to attend the May 21 DMV Spokes Council!
