CHOOSE DEMOCRACY presents a two-session national workshop led by George Lakey, with Zein Nakhoda

Part 1 of 2: Wednesday, September 23, 4:30pm PT / 6:30pm CT / 7:30pm ET
Part 2 of 2: Wednesday, September 30, 4:30pm PT / 6:30pm CT / 7:30pm ET

This pilot workshop has two parts; each session is two hours and attendance at both sessions is required. Workshops will be held in the Zoom platform.

There’s a chance that a desperate Trump will respond to a narrow victory by Biden by declaring the election fraudulent, urging his base to support his continued Presidency. This training will share the most important things to know and practice in order to be ready for that possibility. This workshop is non-partisan and does not endorse any candidates for election.
