Greetings Resistor ,

Have I got news for you! There are a repeating event, a workshop, and scheduled actions coming up. Scroll down to learn more.

As always, we send out our heartfelt thanks to all who stand with us. Together we are unbreakable. Together we move mountains. Together we create a better world for ALL.

8/14/25: Banner Build Workshop

Join us and learn how to build the Backbone Campaign Banners that we use during our ongoing Operation Overpass: Undefeated Against Tyranny, CSRA Peace Alliance's Tuesday No More War Vigils, and our various other actions.

On Thursday, August 14 we will complete construction of 2 more 10 ft. banners for deployment on 8/16/25. If you can use scissors and twist bread ties, you can help build a banner!

It's a fun craft time as we continue creating Y'allidarity.
