In this training, neighbors come together to learn what movements have done around the world to win this fight and get the playbook to stop authoritarianism in 2026. We end each training with a call to action followed by local breakout groups, giving neighbors a chance to build relationships and plan ways to bring in more people and take action together.

Civil liberties are protected when We, The People, ORGANIZE.
The ACLU's Organizing to Protect Democracy training series is built to help volunteers develop real organizing skills, strengthen leadership, and take part in community-based defense of civil liberties. You'll learn how to take action and organize in a moment when our communities are facing threats to their safety and their rights.
This session is designed for volunteers who want to gain key skills they can use right away to participate in collective, community-based action.
Let's get organized and protect democracy together.

We’re Reclaiming Our Power
Families across the country are struggling to afford groceries, gas, electric bills, and the everyday cost of getting by. The decisions made by those in power shape our lives, our communities, and our future.
No Kings: Vote Early is the next step of reclaiming our power after a year of mass mobilizations.
It's a day of nonpartisan voter participation, being in community with each other, and making sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count.

Nationwide Vote Early Day
When Americans vote early, they ensure that last-minute problems will not prevent them from casting their ballots – and help shorten voting lines on Election Day for everyone. But voting early rules – both for in-person and by-mail options – vary widely all over the country, causing confusion and preventing voters from casting their ballots. Help protect the power of voting by voting early and hosting a local early voting event!
