Resistance school: PRACTICAL SKILLS for rescuing AMERICA

4/28/2017

Wondering how we're going to be successful in opposing the most powerful political machine on the planet? The same way people have always done it:  with savvy grassroots organizing tactics, deep commitment to values, and a dash of creative, outside-the-box thinking. That's how Americans took control of their destiny in 1776, and that's how we're going to do it again.

Luckily, there are a lot of very smart, experienced, determined people working on ways to make this happen. This month a group of progressive Harvard grad students launched the Resistance School, a free, online practical training program. This four-part course is designed to sharpen the tools we need to fight for change through concrete learning, community engagement, and forward-looking action.

As our Action Plan this week, American Resistance Sevilla is inviting everyone to take this course. 

We're screening Session One on Wednesday, May 3, at noon (contact us for details). If that date and time aren't convenient for you, stream it here to watch on your own or, better yet, gather a group of friends to view it with you. Let us know if you'd like to host a group; we'll post upcoming screenings on our Resistance Calendar.


Together we’ll learn how to:
  • Communicate our values in political advocacy (Session One)
  • Mobilize and organize our communities (Session Two)
  • Structure and build capacity for action (Session Three)
  • Sustain the resistance long-term (Session Four)​​​

WE'RE LAUNCHING A VIRTUAL TAX MARCH — STARTING NOW!

4/5/2017

6 Comments

 
Until we see the President’s tax returns, we are all in the dark about his conflicts of interest, his foreign entanglements, and whether he even pays any taxes at all.
 
On April 15, outraged taxpayers are taking to the streets in 130 American cities. But with tax day falling during Semana Santa, that's just not possible here in Sevilla. So we’re launching the world's first Virtual Tax March, posting photos on social media demanding — in a phrase  borrowed from Jerry McGuire  — "Show me the money!"


​1. Take a selfie with our downloadable "SHOW ME THE MONEY" sign.
Or make your own sign with a similar message. ​​Feel free to wear a pink pussy hat, a Resistance t-shirt, your Halloween costume, or anything else that will add fun and drama.
Click here to download SHOW ME THE MONEY sign
 
​2. Post your photo on social media.

Change your privacy settings to public
so you can be seen by a wider audience and people can share your protest post.


Twitter & Instagram 
We suggest including these handles & hashtags: 
@realdonaldtrump @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SevillaResist
 #VirtualTaxMarch #TaxMarch #AmericanResistanceSevilla 
#ExpatsVote #Expats #Resist  #YOUR STATE (i.e. California) #YOUR LOCATION (i.e., Sevilla)

Facebook

Post your photo on your personal page and tag us at @americanresistancesevilla.
​Possible post wording:
This is [YOUR NAME] in [YOUR CITY] joining Resisters around the world in demanding the President release his tax returns on #TaxDay. Join us in this #VirtualTaxMarch! 
For more information: www.AmericanResistanceSevilla.com

See sample posts.

3. Invite friends to join in.
This is everyone's problem! We're encouraging people all over the world to join in. Reach out to 10 friends and suggest they reach out to 10 of their friends. Then take your sign around town and photograph it with people you know, strangers on the street, your pets, city landmarks, whatever strikes your fancy. 

Find us on taxmarch.org.
​

Every picture you post is going to really, really annoy the President, especially on his home turf of Twitter. So get busy!

Meet up at 9:00 PM, April 4, in Plaza de la Alfalfa

We’ll likely split into smaller groups to roam the city then rendezvous at midnight.

Come out and raise a glass for the cause.
Remember, every photo you post will really, really annoy the president.
