From Monarca MN:

We have lived through the largest federal immigration operation in US history. We have been tried, tested, and we have shown the world that we, the people, still have the power we need to defend and expand our American democracy.

Our elections on November 3rd are an essential part of that defense. Election integrity is under unprecedented attack. People in the highest levels of government have called to nationalize elections, tried to seize voter rolls from our state officials, and threatened federal agents at polling places.

Join Monarca and your neighbors for our new Democracy Defense training. Together, we will build a broad network to defend our democracy, using every lever we can to ensure we have safe, free, and fair elections, and that our votes are counted.

In this training, you will learn more about:

• The threats we are facing

• The actions we can take, now, up to the election, and beyond

• How to organize locally to build democracy defense networks, building on what we already have

• Next steps to stay engaged with the work

The training focuses on local organizing, including an intentional planning period to work alongside your neighbors. If you are coming from outside the area, we are excited to see you, and we think you'll get the most from the event if you can attend with 2-3 people from your neighborhood or congregation, as well as connect with us afterwards to plan a training for your area.

We, the people, will defend our democracy from sliding further into authoritarian rule. Together, we will create a participatory, multicultural democracy that values every voice, and where all people live with dignity.
