Since Inauguration Day, acts of resistance have become a part of the weekly, even daily routine of citizens across America — from making calls to senators and congressmen, to attending rallies and protests, to meeting with community organizing groups. Each week, we’ll point you to a few events that are scheduled in New York City. #GetOrganizedBK is an initiative from Council member Brad Lander that consists of 15 volunteer-led “working groups” that meet monthly to develop resistance strategies. This Monday, Lander hosts a brainstorming session at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, beginning at 6:30 with a panel discussion on protecting immigrants in sanctuary cities. Congregation Beth Elohim, 274 Garfield Pl.
