Know Your Rights Workshops:
Know Your Rights to protest in Scotland (Scotland is different to England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
This workshop is a legal briefing for activists in Scotland, covering important topics such as interactions with the police, your rights in 'Stop and Search' situations, and how we can best support ourselves and each other at protests and actions.
.....
General Principles:
We’re talking about Scottish Law only.
We’re not lawyers - there are plenty of good reasons to get professional legal advice - we offer these trainings to support activists and community.
We recognise that Police are institutionally racist and disproportionately police certain communities.
Facilitators will work to ensure that all trainings are as welcoming as possible and that any abusive or oppressive behaviour is challenged. Anyone who continues to behave in an unacceptable way may be removed from the call.
If there is anything we can do to make the training safer or more accessible for you, please let us know when you register (such as providing transcripts etc).
The training will not be recorded but we will run more in the future.
Captions:
When entering the meeting it will say 'this meeting is being live-streamed'. This is only so that the sound can be live-streamed to the computer software for the automated captions. It is not being live-streamed anywhere else.
To use the captions you can turn them on by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the zoom window next to where it says 'chat' etc, and clicking 'show subtitles'.
