​We’d like to host a dedicated time for Rubies to come together to share our anger, fear, and grief. We also invite all Rubies to share their skills and experience in resistance and organizing. Let’s help each other feel anchored and empowered in collective action and collective care.

Please join this meeting to help map our needs and our resources. Here are some proposed topics for our conversation; feel free to add to the list.

• ​Addressing a sense of powerlessness

• ​Connecting to existing groups like Bay Resistance, SF Rising, Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC), and many others

• ​Showing solidarity with folks who are most targeted (e.g. accompaniment to immigration court or ICE check-ins)

• ​Building, solidifying, and expanding organizing structures

• ​Joining campaigns on the federal budget and the city budget, where proposed cuts endanger millions of lives

• ​Creating community self-care to sustain ourselves and build relationships (e.g. some physical therapists are offering free bodywork to activists!)

• ​Clarifying how The Ruby can work with the larger Bay Area progressive community

​*This event is an intimate group of Ruby members.
