Non-Violent Direct Action training

Details

Learn how to take part in XR actions at this non-violent direct action training! This training is for people who are interested in potentially doing civil disobedience as well as people who don’t but want to play support roles at our actions. You will learn how to engage in non-violent civil disobedience. We will cover some theory behind direct actions, discuss the logistics of arrest and potential legal implications, and talk about the many different roles (besides risking arrest) that are crucial to successful actions. You will have the opportunity to talk with people who have gone through the arrest process and ask any questions you may have. We recommend that you attend an 'Heading for Extinction' talk and an XR orientation before you attend our NVDA training. You can find these events on our calendar. We recommend these because understanding the climate science and more about XR will help you figure out how you'd like to be involved. If you cannot attend these events, you are still welcome to attend the NVDA training. Instead of the in-person events, you may want to watch a version of the Heading for Extinction talk online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2VkC4SnwY0 Location: TBD shortly, will be in person. Run Time: 6:00 to 8:00 pm (we may end early). RSVP for updates: https://xrboston.org/action/xr-non-violent-direct-action-training-06-28-22/
