We are in the fight of a lifetime to protect our rights, our civil liberties, and the future of our democracy. The Trump administration and some New Jersey politicians are working every day to silence us, roll back our freedoms, and consolidate power—but we’re not backing down.
That’s why we’re launching the Power & Purpose Training, a one-day, high-impact training designed to equip people like you with the real skills to fight back and organize for change.
This training is for people who are ready to turn their outrage into action. If you’re afraid or frustrated by the direction of our country and ask yourself, “What can I do?” – this is your answer. Join our training and gain the tools to organize for change.
Date: Saturday, August 16, 2025
Time: 9:30am-4:30pm
Location: Trenton, NJ; exact location TBA
Hosted by: ACLU National and ACLU of New Jersey
At our training, you’ll learn how to:
- Organize within your community using proven tools.
- Have effective, persuasive conversations that move people to action.
Why a training? Because movements don’t build themselves – people do. This training will equip you with the tools to lead, organize, and build real power. You’ll join a budding nationwide network of leaders across the country just like you who are ready to rise to the moment. This is your chance to connect with others who are fired up and ready to fight for our shared future.
This is a free event with limited space. The only requirement is for you to commit to the full day and, in the spirit of the training, bring someone with you. As such, we’re asking every participant to sign up at least one friend, family member, or colleague. Organizing is relational –and the path forward depends on all of us.
Spots are limited and will be determined on a first-come, first-serve basis, so sign up today and be the first to receive event details.
