Join Us
- Have a question for us? Reach out at EvergreenResistance@proton.me
- Want to help? Group organization is currently taking place on Signal, an encrypted chat application with a focus on privacy. Join the Resistance on Signal
- This link will guide you on installing and using Signal if you don't already
- Our vetting and onboarding process does take a few steps, but ensures you're given all the info you need and contacts to ask any questions. Once you are onboarded any delays caused by this process are behind you and you can work directly with other volunteers to make events happen
- Upon joining the group to indicate your interest, the group description will have a link to a form asking a few questions about what you want to do with ER and how you can help. No identifying information is required
- After filling out the form and read our Code of Conduct, you will be contacted by one of our Vetting Team
- Once our Vetting Team has talked with you, they will place you in an Onboarding group with other new volunteers
- A member of our Onboarding Team will explain how we work, how we communicate, and how we are organized. They will answer any questions and set you up with any needed permissions to interact with the various ER coalitions across the state
