NOTE OUR NEW TIME AND LOCATION!
People power happens when we come together with fire in the belly, authentic relationships, shared values, a plan to win, and the know-how to mobilize! Now, as our country and our communities face a fascist power grab, we must learn and use powerful tools of collective noncompliance and mass noncooperation based on tried and true tactics used by movements from around the world defying authoritarianism. As individuals, groups, and communities we can refuse to cooperate with official policies and actions nonviolently. When we take away our acquiescence at a massive scale, undemocratic actors can be stopped in their tracks. Liz Moore, Executive Director of Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane, will share reflections, key strategies, and ways to take action.
With more than 25 years of experience, Liz Moore (she/her) knows social justice organizing and movement-building is both an art and a science. Growing up in a working-class household, Liz’s family’s life transformed when her dad got a union job. As a kid and as an organizer, she has experienced the impact and witnessed the power of regular people uniting with courage, determination, and strategy.
After looking up “peace” in the phone book, Liz began her activism as a high school student by joining the PJALS youth program. She has served as Executive Director of PJALS for 16 years. In all that she does, Liz is fueled by the belief that everyday people have the power to build a just and nonviolent world.
