Join AIUSA Local Group 1016 (Providence, RI), Local Group 133 (Somerville/Cambridge, MA), and The Other Space Foundation (Fundacja Inna Przestrzeń) for a 2-day action camp at A Factory of Hope in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

This will be a hands-on gathering focused on human rights, community protection, and practical skills for collective action, both locally and globally. Throughout the weekend, participants will take part in workshops, trainings, and small-group sessions designed to build shared knowledge, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful action rooted in community care and human rights. Everyone who attends is invited to contribute, learn, and connect. Besides inspiration and skills, everyone will come away with a shirt, a cool field bag, and more.

At the Activism Summit, you will:

• Learn practical skills to help protect yourself and your community
• Explore effective approaches to collective action and civic engagement
• Connect with organizers, artists, educators, and activists from around the world
• Share experiences across movements and communities
• Create materials, plans, and ideas you can bring back to your own work

The program combines short plenary sessions with hands-on workshops, creative skill-building, and collaborative planning. Topics span local and global human rights issues, digital safety, community defense, protest art and printing, legal observation, public engagement, and more.

The Activism Summit is designed for people at any stage of involvement from first-time participants to experienced organizers. No prior experience is required. Feel free to come for as much or as little of the two days as you want. Food, music, creativity, and connection are part of the experience. Register now!
