Trainings and workshops

  • Eyes on ICE: Learn how to document and record law enforcement encounters by watching this recording. And check out California’s new online portal for reporting misconduct by ICE, CBP, and other federal agents, which will be used by district attorneys like Contra Costa County’s Diana Becton to conduct independent investigations.
  • Learn de-escalation techniques and help organize and run safe, peaceful, and energetic protests. De-escalation training from ACLU and MoveOn can be found here. Reply to this e-mail if you want to help.
  • Learn the SALUTE protocol, the acronym that tells you what to report to the local Rapid Response number if you witness a raid. Or ask us about patrolling local areas that may be subject to raids; training is available.
  • Letters to the Editor can be a powerful way to make your voice heard. Not sure how to get started? A virtual training is available or just ask Jennifer H. for resources and one-on-one training.
  • Phone Banking: If you want to phone bank with other groups, including from home, Nancy Klein will train you and get you started. And she’s going to provide phonebank training during the IWCCC community meeting on Feb. 22. Calling voters is less scary and more effective than you think. More information here about groups doing virtual phonebanks. You can also get training and participate in virtual phone banks with Commit to Democracy every Monday or Wednesday from 3-5 pm, with in-depth trainings available on Tuesdays from 3-4 pm.
  • Sign up for Multicultural Institute online trainings to assist with its “Adopt a Corner” rapid response and community watch efforts. Email the immigration coordinator, Kimberly Castro, for details.
  • Sign up for Bay Resistance trainings and alerts to prepare to be an ally to protect our neighbors from ICE and the National Guard operations. More info here.

Indivisible is launching a **Social Strategy** program that meets online weekly on Thursdays to run Social Banks specifically designed to reach online audiences to boost pro-democracy content on Instagram and TikTok.

**We need real people to cut through the noise.** Political campaigns often struggle to understand the value of reaching voters online and to speak “internet.” We need people like you who know how to share engaging content
