Mass Noncooperation Training for May 1st
San Francisco and the North Bay

Coming together for a Mass Training to prepare to shut it down on May Day: No Work. No School. No Shopping.

You're invited to participate, Saturday, March 14, from 9-3 pm at Mission High School in San Francisco for the Bay Resistance Mass Noncooperation Training. Also, on Sunday, March 22, 12-6 pm, North Bay Unites for a Noncooperation Training, at the Petaluma Veterans Memorial Hall, 1094 Petaluma Blvd. S, Petaluma, CA (more info here).

This is bigger than organizing towards a single day of action. This is about building a mass non-cooperation movement to confront fascism and defend our communities.

We are watching an authoritarian project consolidate power in real time. Billionaire oligarchs hoarding wealth. Corporations collaborating with repression. Immigrants targeted. Dissent criminalized. Rights and public goods stripped. This is how fascism advances: by dividing working people, concentrating power, and normalizing cruelty.

But history teaches us something else: fascism is not inevitable. It is defeated when ordinary people come together and refuse to comply.

Mass non-cooperation looks like working people withholding our dollars and our labor.

It looks like students walking out.

It looks like knowing your rights to call out sick if you fear retaliation for striking.

It looks like communities standing together so tightly that attacks on one of us are met with collective resistance from all of us.

And it requires practice. Preparation. Strategy. Skills. Courage.

Coordination for mass power to reach mass disruption.
