From the Black Lives Matter uprisings to Minnesota’s “Day of Truth and Freedom” to the No Kings protests and more, large-scale mobilizations require many people with specific skills working in coordination to succeed.

If you’ve ever been curious how events like these work and want to learn the skills involved, join Free DC and partners for a Skill Training Bootcamp the week of November 16-19. Over four consecutive nights we’ll offer trainings on key skills like How to Mobilize, Action Comms, Action Safety, and Sounds + Visuals.

On Thursday, November 19, Sound + Visuals will talk about the skills that go into making protests look and sound their strongest, including how to lead chants and songs, message + frame, and banner painting 101. If you were a kid who felt most at home in the art room or choir practice, this is the training for you!

Location details will be provided after registration. Questions about this event can be directed to erica@freedcproject.org.
