Real change has always come from organized people who keep the pressure on, no matter who’s in office. We win our campaign demands by continuing to build and assert our collective power. Nonviolent direct action is one of our most effective tools for doing it.

Minnesotans have shown up, defended our communities and neighbors, and turned out at the polls in record numbers. But corporate oligarchs, billionaires, and authoritarians are still in power. We know that elections alone won’t get us what our communities need–nonviolent direct action helps get the goods!

Join us on Sunday, December 13 in Minneapolis for a free, hands-on training for the pro-immigrant, pro-labor and pro-democracy movement. Whether you’ve never been to an action or you’ve planned dozens, there’s a place for you, with basic and advanced breakout options. Together we will:

• Dig into the strategy behind effective nonviolent direct actions

• Build or hone key hands-on skills, like de-escalation

• Explore an action role, such as marshaling, protest safety, or direct action energy

Abundant snacks and beverages will be provided for folks across dietary needs.
