Side With Love Action Center Update!

Each week we share a brief analysis of critical issues in this moment,

political education resources, and actions you can take to side with love.





Since 2025, the US has seen a huge increase in protests, direct actions, and public witness as mass numbers of people show up in sustained, coordinated resistance to fascism. At the same time, we've seen the Administration respond to these movements in increasingly aggressive ways, from violently confronting people in the streets to overcharging for minor offenses and pursuing grossly disproportionate sentences.


In this context, how should our risk calculus change? How can we gauge which actions to participate in? What baseline skills and habits should we practice to keep ourselves and our communities as safe as possible?



Please join us this Thursday, June 9 at 8pm ET for Tune Up to Show Up: A Skills & Risk Assessment Refresher!



Whether you're newly participating in justice movements, or you've got years of experience in direct action, organizing, and mutual aid, this webinar will help you understand the specific risks and opportunities of this moment and reinforce best practices for showing up grounded and ready. Specific topics will include high-level overviews of:

  • Risk calculus in the shifting legal landscape

  • Discerning if an action is the right one for you

  • Baseline personal safety & security practices

  • Know Your Rights fundamentals

  • Public communications best practices


Rev. Ashley Horan, Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd, and civil rights attorney Sam Ames will help us navigate the shifting risks of public witness and reinforce the skills and habits we need to show up grounded, prepared, and safe.   




7.7.26 Side With Love Action Center Update!



Nothing is inevitable. Justice movements are built by ordinary people who come together to defeat oppression and nurture a loving world. You are not alone. We have power. Together, we can create a just and thriving future.


Movements are strongest when we act together. Organize with your teams and

networks and take these actions in community. For practical tools, see our Organizing School and Trainings & Webinars.



Take Action:

Protect your community by abolishing Utility shutoffs.


Especially in extreme heat, utility shutoffs are deadly and disproportionately harm low-income folks. The Tsunami of Shutoffs Guides for Action provide recommended actions to move this forward at all levels, including:



*       Community

*       Local Government

*       Public Utility Commission (PUC)

*       Legislators

*       Congressional
