Join the Spending Strike
How much do you want to stop … the fascist takeover of the country? Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs … Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. … Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending except on essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.
Noncooperation & Strike Readiness Training
Strike Ready Corps Training
Community Strike Readiness is a 90-minute workshop offering practical training for community members who want to be ready when collective action escalates. Participants will learn from historical examples of strikes confronting authoritarian regimes and have opportunities to apply learnings to their local organizing context as we approach the upcoming midterm elections.
Noncooperation 101 Training
Join us for a 2 hour virtual training on civil resistance and noncooperation. We will cover the authoritarian threat and how to defeat it. We will especially focus on countering the all-out assault on our elections …. Participants will leave with concrete steps for taking action.
Oppose PSE Rate Hike
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has once again proposed ANOTHER rate hike …This time they're requesting an almost 30% increase on electric bills and almost 20% on gas bills! Help urge the UTC not to approve costly and unnecessary new fossil fuel infrastructure, or allow PSE to reinstate harmful fees and collections practices. PSE keeps pushing off adoption of building electrification programs that would improve indoor air quality, reduce emissions damaging our climate, AND cost customers less! Instead, PSE's wasting our money buying offsets that produce no tangible benefits.
Oppose Rescinding The Roadless Rule
Removing the Roadless Rule's protections would open the last of our remaining wilderness to massive logging projects, motorized traffic, extractive industries like mining and fossil fuel extraction, and other devastating activities and projects. Click link above and scroll down for talking points.
