Want to fight authoritarianism? The time to act is now.

This year’s elections are an opportunity for us to stop the rise of authoritarianism so that we can create the future we all deserve. The regime is trying to keep people from voting so they can control our elections and seize more power - but we can stop them by taking action together.

In this training, you'll learn what authoritarianism looks like, what movements have done around the world to defeat it, and how you can take action with local groups on Long Island.

Whether you’re new or experienced with political activism, come join your neighbors and get the playbook to protect and perfect our democracy in 2026.

Snacks, drinks, and a sense of purpose and community will be provided. This training is brought to you by Battleground New York Action, 1199SEIU, Make the Road New York, and Long Island Progressive Coalition.
