We know that we care for us and we keep us safe. Join us on Sunday, December 7 from 1:30 - 5:30 p.m. for a free Nonviolent Direct Action Training for the pro-labor, pro-democracy movement! Whether you have never joined a direct action, or you've planned one, this hands-on training is for you. Together, we will: Learn what makes direct actions successful (or not successful). Practice key skills for safe, fun, and effective direct actions. Connect with fellow community members who are committed to safe, joyful resistance against corporate greed and authoritarianism. The location is pending and will be shared closer to the event, but will be accessible via public transit. Abundant snacks and beverages will be provided for folks across dietary needs. The venue we choose will be ADA accessible, and certified service animals will be welcome. We will take breaks during Islamic prayer times, and set aside a dedicated space for prayer. We will have fidgets and a dedicated quiet space available for neurodivergent participants who would like to use them. We will provide on-site childcare and simultaneous interpretation if requested by the end of the day on Wednesday, December 3 so that there is enough time to arrange those services. Questions?
