Are you prepared for arrest?

Start: Wednesday, March 13, 2024•10:00 AM

Host contact info xrtrainingvic@protonmail.com

If you are new to XR or new to the idea of getting arrested please come to this briefing about what you need to know and how to prepare. This briefing does not and cannot take the place of in-depth NVDA training but might help you decide whether you want to go further.

Content includes: informed consent, de-escalation, Arrestee Support, the Buddy system, legal considerations.

You will need to prepare by familiarising yourself with Extinctions Rebellion's demands and principles, which you can find here: What is XR - Extinction Rebellion Australia (ausrebellion.earth)

PLEASE NOTE: If you are new, we strongly recommend that you attend one of our regular introductory sessions - Heading for Extinction and What To Do About It - and our Nonviolent Direct Action Training and De-escalation training, before you come to this briefing. These can be found under Events at https://ausrebellion.earth/ . You can also watch a "Heading for Extinction . . ." video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVjjRHarTM8

Covid safety
Covid still hasn’t gone away so, if you’re coming to the Drill Hall, we are asking you to take a RAT test and to seriously consider wearing an N95-or-higher mask indoors.  N95 masks and surgical masks, RATs and hand sanitiser will be available at the Welcome Table.

Let's keep each other safe to keep on rebelling for life.

If you have any queries, or if you can no longer make it after you have booked, please contact xrvicarresteesupport@protonmail.com.

Level access is via the Victoria Street exit/entrance which unfortunately must be opened from inside the building. Please call Judy G on 0400 582 343 to request access. Apologies for this clunky system.
