Join the Cascadia Election Response Network
When we organize, we win.
Since November 3rd, we have had more than 1200 people sign up to join our Cascadia Election Response Network. More than just about any one candidate or election, we see this as a pivotal moment in history when we must start preparing networks of mutual aid, local resilience, training and preparation for times of emergency, and if ever needed, civil disobedience. Be it an emergency, man made or natural, or fighting against the rising tide of fascism, climate change, economic inequity, systemic oppression or misinformation, we will be ready.
These types of networks don’t just happen. Historically, it is often the result of serious training. Time and again, we have demonstrated the power that unified, nonviolent, mass-action can have in the face of illegitimate regimes seeking to subvert the will of the people.

The Sound of the Northern Paiute language / Numu / Paviotso (Numbers, Greetings & The Book of John)
The Northern Paiute language, also known as Numu and Paviotso, is a Western Numic language of the Uto-Aztecan family. Within Numic, it is most closely related to Mono and more distantly to Panamint, Shoshone (spoken in Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming), Comanche (spoken mainly in Oklahoma, Texas, and Arizona), Kawaiisu, and Chemehuevi-Southern Paiute-Ute. The other Uto-Aztecan languages of California are Tubatulabal and the Takic languages (Cahuilla, Cupeño, Gabrielino, Juaneño, Kitanemuk, Luiseño, Serrano, and Tataviam).
