Solidarity Civics: Responding to Executive Disorder

Thursday, February 20, 2025
6:00-7:30pm
@ GWI Greenhouse, 65 St. James St, Kingston

What can we do in the aftermath of the president signing 200+ executive orders? How can we come together to process and respond to the real and lasting damage that could result from these regressive actions? How can we build grassroots power and community-led mutual support to ensure we stand in resistance and in solidarity?

We believe that it is more imperative than ever that we emerge from our individual attempts at staying grounded (as important as they are) and join forces.

Good Work Institute invites you to a gathering. Our purpose is to hold space, a forum, for us to strengthen our understanding of what is happening and cultivate a collective sense of focus and action. We are joining the chorus of voices calling for local, regional, and state-wide networks to rise up to fill the gaps, to resist a narrative of helplessness, and to promote instead a tangible alternative to the chaos. We want to support and encourage a community response – with deep democracy at its core – exercising our ability to work collaboratively together, to make decisions through a lens of wisdom and care, and move into action. We will not be obeying in advance.

In this forum, we will:

• Learn about the executive orders, what they say and what they mean for our communities
• Have a chance to hear from each other, voicing our feelings and insights in a facilitated circle
• Share opportunities to move towards Good Work and solidarity
