Co-sponsored by Bay Resistance, San Francisco Rising, Chinese Progressive Association and San Francisco Jobs with Justice.

Join local community and union organizers for a day long training in a strategic framework to meet this political moment. This gathering will be an important place for us to develop a shared analysis of what is needed in this moment so that we can work together to build a powerful resistance movement in the Bay.

Much of the curriculum has been adapted from the Freedom Trainers who are training over 250,000 people all over the country on countering authoritarianism and the tactic of noncooperation since January 2025. The learnings come from decades of research on authoritarian regimes, and countless trainings in this country and abroad.

At this training we will cover:

• Authoritarian playbook and countering it

• Practicing the tactic of noncooperation

• How to start putting this into practice with your base

• Strategizing and next steps in the Bay
