Join us for an in-depth, 5-week course on nonviolent direct action!
MarchOnHarrisburg has conducted over 40 nonviolent direct actions over the last seven years to advance our pro-democracy, anti-corruption bills. We have a highly successful track record of using nonviolent direct actions to push politicians to do what they would rather not do: Work to make their own corruption illegal.
This course will help you become:
- Clear about why nonviolent direct action is necessary and effective.
- Capable of participating in and planning a nonviolent direct action.
- Confident enough to force the encounter with the forces of corruption and struggle for democracy.
- Committed to engaging in nonviolent struggle and being a leader in ongoing, statewide nonviolent pro-democracy campaigns.
This course meets on Mondays from 7:00 - 8:30pm on 4/8, 4/15, 4/29, 5/6, 5/13.
Class Schedule:
Week 1: What is a nonviolent direct action campaign and why is it so effective?
Week 2: The need for nonviolent direct action: The corruption of our State Legislature and the struggle for democracy.
Week 3: The creative, spiritual, and practical power of nonviolence.
