Noncompliance: A Four-Hour Training
With Nichola Torbett
August 9, 2025
Drawing from the wisdom of successful campaigns to overthrow authoritarian rule, this training will focus on how we identify the pillars of support for the Trump administration and begin to weaken and bring them down by inviting our friends, relatives, and neighbors into various acts of creative noncompliance with varying levels of risk. Each person will leave with next steps toward building a widespread movement of noncompliance with the current administration.
Registration is offered on a sliding scale, and scholarships are available. Please get in touch if the low end of the scale is out of reach, and likewise, if you can, please register at a higher rate and/or donate to our Equity fund to ensure that everyone has access.
We will gather in person at the beautiful Kirkridge Retreat & Study Center. Exact location will be available following registration.
