So many people are afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they don’t say anything at all. This silence often leads to further corruption. That’s where this class comes in. Writing as Resistance helps you discover your voice as an empowered activist who can write and speak about complex subjects.

This seminar offers a mix of writing prompts and practical advice to help individuals utilize their writing and speaking voices in a way that blends art and activism. Whether you’re a professional author or you’re still trying to convince yourself that you’re a “real writer,” this workshop is for you.

Participants will leave this one-time session feeling inspired to resist fascism in a realistic way that aligns with their daily lives, core values, and existing skills.

SEMINAR TAKEAWAYS:

Core Values: Identify the issues that matter most to you through a series of writing prompts. Learn how to tap into those communities using your writing.

Self-Care: Understand the toll that activism takes on our mental health. Learn tangible tips on how to implement activism into your life in a realistic way.

The Power of IRL: Use the written word to unite your local community on paper flyers or zines. Also learn how to write engaging emails/text messages that get people to show up IRL.

Speak Now: Write an “elevator pitch” of key concepts to share on phone calls, podcasts, and incorporate resistance messaging into speaking engagements.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This seminar welcomes a diverse audience, from seasoned writers seeking to refine their activism skills to curious beginners eager to embark on their resistance journey. Regardless of your experience level, this seminar promises to equip you with the insights, tools, and inspiration needed to use your voice to fight the oligarchy.
