Bay Resistance is a powerful organization preparing to defend our communities, our movements, and our planet. The mission of Bay Resistance is to advance racial, economic, climate, and gender justice by activating individuals and families to build a just world for all of us.
Some of us are targeted by Trump and his hateful policies. Many of us are immigrant, Muslim, South Asian, Black, Jewish, women, workers, queer, seniors & people with disabilities. All of us commit to loving, defending, and standing up for each other. (from the About page of bayresistance.org) Bay Resistance offers resources and information to build connections, training and local Action Pods that cover the Bay Area and the Silicon Valley.
WHAT ARE ACTION PODS?
The pods are a way for folks to build relationships and community in order to stay plugged into the fight for our movements for the long haul, while taking leadership from groups in the Bay Resistance coalition, whose members and communities are most impacted by Trump's attacks and policies. So many of us are and will be impacted by Trump's agenda - and - the groups we take leadership from are at the forefront of, and are marginally affected by, Trump's assaults.
🫛 Action Pods are groups of 10-20ish people that are either:
Organized by zip code - in this case, Bay Resistance will place you into a pod based on your zip-code, to be with folks who live near by you
Or pre-existing groups that are plugging into our Action Pod structure and program
🫛 Action Pod Commitment and Structure:
The Action Pods are a 6 month commitment, that start from the pods first monthly meeting
within each month of the 6 months, we are asking that pod members:
Commit to take 2 actions
attend their monthly pod meeting, which will be a space of relationship building, political ed and alignment, and processing the political moment
🫛 Action Pod Facilitators
Each Action Pod has two co-facilitators, who are responsible for coordinating and organizing the group
Anyone is welcome to be a pod faciliator - Bay Resistance will support you as needed in this role
