Thursday, April 17: Rise for Freedom Trainings

Rise for Freedom

As we face the growing threat of autocracy in our country, it's more crucial than ever to build a stronger, more united movement for democracy.

That is why Greater Nashville UU Congregation will be hosting in-person gatherings to participate in the Rise for Freedom Training Series every Thursday for the next few weeks. We are inviting friends like you to come together and learn how to organize and mobilize diverse, nonpartisan communities to demand democracy.

Please come to any or all of the scheduled meetings. Each session is designed to stand alone and​ will include music, calls to action, digital hygiene/safety tips, and a core online training module, with in-person breakouts for hands-on learning, planning, and community building.

Where: GNUUC, 374 Hicks Rd. Nashville (Bellevue)

When: Thursdays starting April 3 through May 15 from 7 pm to 9 pm CT (arrive around 6:45, if you can)

 April 3: How did we get here? Intro to organizing under creeping autocracy

 April 10: Building to a critical mass locally (outreach)
