When we return to our work on the ground at the frontlines of the climate crisis, fighting companies whose main goal is exploitation for the sake of profit, let’s be prepared!
Join this webinar series to find out what ingredients we need to build a healthy, meaningful blockade.

This webinar series will be an opportunity for us to go a little deeper into some of the central ideas that shape strong blockades. We know that blockades are integral to meaningful changes in society, but how can we have blockades that push the boundaries of politics on this continent?
Check out the sessions and RSVP to this event to find out about all of them

Blockades and community care: nonviolence as healing
One
of the foundations of the work we do in nonviolence is nonviolent
communication. This short introduction to Nonviolent Communication will
help keep us on track while facing the ever increasing challenges to do
our work sustainably and attend to our relationships.
Despair,
anger, and fear drain energy from the beauty of the vision we have for
the world. Identifying and focusing on what really matters creates
energy and unleashes more creativity in imagining strategies to meet
more people’s needs. To be driven by vision is the most effective way to
sustain ourselves in our work while opening up to what is possible beyond what we have imagined.
*Please note, we will not be recording this session. We hope you can join us on Thursday night.
