Grassroots Training and Coalition Building: Fighting Misinformation, Protecting Communities

As the political temperature rises and disinformation spreads like wildfire, activists across the country are turning to the roots of resistance—their communities. Grassroots training and coalition building have become the front lines of the fight for truth, justice, and inclusion.

Fighting Misinformation with Community Power

In a digital age where lies can go viral in minutes, the antidote isn’t just fact-checking—it’s education, solidarity, and local engagement. Across cities and rural areas alike, community groups are holding in-person and virtual training sessions to equip neighbors with the tools to recognize and counter misinformation.

Workshops focus on:

·         Media literacy and disinformation awareness

·         Voter rights education and protection

·         Digital safety and privacy for activists

·         Combatting xenophobic rhetoric and hate speech

From high school gyms to union halls, people are learning how to talk to their families, support vulnerable neighbors, and stay alert to disinformation campaigns that target immigrant and marginalized communities.

Coalition Building: From Isolation to Unity

What’s different in 2025? Activist circles are finally breaking down silos. Climate justice organizers, immigrant rights groups, LGBTQ+ advocates, labor unions, and anti-fascist movements are recognizing their shared stake in resisting authoritarianism and far-right agendas.

Coalitions are forming around common principles:

·         Mutual protection for at-risk communities

·         Strategic resistance to harmful policies and local enforcement

·         Intersectional organizing across class, race, gender, and ability

·         Community resilience in the face of repression

By training locally and building coalitions nationally, grassroots groups are creating a resistance network that is smarter, stronger, and harder to divide.

The Movement Is Local, But the Impact Is National

Resistance in 2025 doesn’t look like it did in 2016. It’s not just about mass rallies (though those still matter). It’s about who shows up for their neighbor. Who corrects the lie in the school board meeting. Who organizes food drives and legal aid. Who builds bridges between struggles. These actions echo louder than any headline.

We rise together when we train together, protect each other, and refuse to be silent.
