Resisting Fascism Together
Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern
First and third Wednesday evenings, beginning November 19, 2025 and running indefinitely
7-8:30 pm
When you look back at what you did during this extremely difficult period in US history (from a happier vantage point, let us hope) what do you want to see? This class, which is at least as focused on action as learning, aims to make us all more effective pro-democracy activists, recognizing that we come to the sessions with different needs.
If you’re just not sure what to do, this class will identify effective actions. If you know what actions you want to take, but don’t know how to sustain your hope and energy, we'll provide practices for sustainable activism and do some of them together. If you are feeling alone or overwhelmed, coming to the sessions will remind you that you only have to do one small part of the work–others are doing theirs.
Each session will stand alone, though the power of community grows by frequent attendance. Topics include: what history tells us is effective, spiritual grounding of anti-fascist action, mutual aid, recognizing logical fallacies to keep from being derailed, singing together for justice, how to speak to the children in your life about what’s happening, and many others TBD.
