Fwd: Upcoming Events this March!

[Margaret Rowlett]

There's some great programming on the way from Third Act, and my understanding is that, while geared toward older adults, all of the programs are free and open to the public. 

In particular I hope everyone is signing up for the three-part training on fighting authoritarianism. 

The dates are all on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm: 

March 11,

April 8, and

April 15.

I was especially excited to see that one of the leaders is from Freedom Trainers, a group in high demand! They are going to teach "how to wield the powerful tools of noncompliance and mass noncooperation based on tried and true tactics used by movements around the world in fighting successfully against authoritarianism." I can't wait, and I hope to see you there! 

Plus there are other interesting programs you can see below.
