 o join an affinity group and be prepared to participate in civil disobedie
 nce) since covid. But our training team has qualified the XR Chicago onlin

 in these things for XR Boston. If you do choose to go to this training\, p
 lease Kebyase message @alice02138 or email noteaparty@gmail.com so we can 
 help connect you with a Boston XR affinity group \n\n-----\nHow do rebels 
 respond to a pandemic and lockdown? Resiliently\, of course!\n\nIn light o

 on training online.  The training will take place on Zoom on four consecut
 ive Saturdays— August 8\, 15\, 22\, and 29 from 2–4 p.m. EST—as well
  as in asynchronous small-group discussions in Keybase. The goal of the tr
 aining is to prepare participants to plan and carry out a COVID-appropriat
 e non-violent direct action during the last week of August. \n\n- Learn ab
 out Extinction Rebellion and other local activist groups\, as well as abou
 t the use of affinity groups to mass mobilize climate-related activism.\n\

 , real-world messaging (e.g.\, postering\, pop-up art)\, digital pranks (t
 hink the Yes Men)\, vehicle actions (e.g. kayaktivism)\, and resistance/re
 silience actions such as planting trees and creating mini-gardens--as well
  as other categories that you come up with!\n\n- Work with a provisional a
 ffinity group to plan an action\, propose it to the larger group\, revise 
 it in accord with feedback\, and possibly figure out how to collaborate or
  coordinate with other affinity groups.\n\n- Participate in an action plan
 ned by XR Chicago or other environmental or social justice group\, as a fo
 rm of hands-on learning\, team-building\, and solidarity.\n\n- Consult wit
 h XR Working Groups\, National Lawyers Guild lawyers\, and other experts a
