Thank you for being our Valentine!
Thank you to everyone who donated in our end-of-year fundraising drive to help us gear up for 2011! We are grateful for your support, and we can’t do our work without you.
Thank you for showing us your love for Ruckus, for action, and for justice. Now we’d like to show you a little love this Valentine’s Day:
With your support, 2011 is going to be a great year!
This year kicked off with a big action January 30th where we Quarantined the Kochs for their role in buying out our democracy and bankrolling the hate-fueled anti-migrant movement and the climate denial machine. 25 activists were arrested for nonviolent direct action, while nearly 2,000 other protesters rallied in support. (Click here for more on the Koch action).
Now all of us at Ruckus (through our amazing volunteer Network) are hard at work getting ready for the rest of the year, including:
- An exciting launch of new Direct Action Resources (check out what’s currently available here, and we’ll post the new resources later this Spring!)
- National Action Camp for Migrant Rights & Ecological Justice
- Community Dialogue: ‘Direct Action Today & Tomorrow‘
- and of course, plenty of Trainings and ACTIONS!
Be sure to sign up for our email updates to keep in the loop about action alerts, training opportunities, and direct action news, and check our Upcoming Events on our website.
And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
Thank you for being our Valentine!
With love,
Megan and Sharon

The Rukus Society staff training at DC for the Tar Sands Action helped to propel me to a new level of commitment to taking direct action to bring about change. Thanks to all of your staff at Rukus Society and the First Nation staff who joined you to bring a deeper reality to our struggle.
