From Communities Rising, a Seattle-based grassroots group.

Join us for our second 2025 gathering to energize, connect, and discover what is ours to do during this time when things feel like they are falling apart.

Katie Wilson, Executive Director of Transit Riders Union, will deliver a keynote on

How To Trump-Proof Seattle.

This second Communities Rising Gathering we'll review the Resistance Lab content created by Rep. Pramila Jayapal's team. We'll cover:

• Resistance Tactics (Creative Disruptions, Petitions, Storytelling, Strikes, Distributed Action, Mass Street Action, Civic Disobedience) and

• Ending Political Violence (Reveal, Redeem, Re-Frame, Redirect, Resist) We'll discuss in small groups how we might use these resistance methods in our neighborhoods.
