You’ve had enough of this authoritarian takeover, and can’t stand on the sidelines anymore. Maybe you’ve participated in an action; maybe you’re just ready to do *something,* and could use a community to help you take action.
**Now what?**
Come find out—and have a blast doing it.
**IPA+ Orientation + Social** is a fun, low-key gathering designed to help you figure out exactly where YOU fit into the movement. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or that word still feels a little foreign on your tongue, whether you love being out front or you thrive behind the scenes—there is a place for you here, and we’ll help you find it.
Come to connect. Come to celebrate what we’ve built together. Come because joy is an act of resistance, and community is one of the first things tyrants try to break.
**What to Expect**
– A peek inside IPA+—and a chance to learn about our many action teams, our values, and how you can plug in
– Real talk about what’s coming next in the fight for democracy
– Good conversation, new friends, and a whole lot of heart
**📅 Sunday, June 28 | 2:30 PM–2:55 PM**
**Staying after?** Our Democracy Forum—_Who’s Watching? Safeguarding Our Privacy_—runs from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM at the same location. Explore the “brave new world” of mass surveillance, its impact on our everyday lives, and its implications for our democracy. [RSVP here.](https://www.mobilize.us/ipaplus/event/961311/)
