 09/\n\nXR Boston hasn't had an XR non-violent direct action training (to j
 oin an affinity group and be prepared to participate in civil disobedience
 ) since covid. But our training team has qualified the XR Chicago online t
 rainings coming up as a training that would qualify you to participate in 
 these things for XR Boston. If you do choose to go to this training\,  ple
 ase email xrmass-action-onboard@protonmail.com so we can help connect you 
 with a Boston XR affinity group.\n\n-----------------------------\n\nHow d
 o rebels respond to a pandemic and lockdown? Resiliently\, of course!\n\nI
 n light of COVID\, Extinction Rebellion Chicago has put its Non-Violent Di
 rect Action training online.  The training will take place on Zoom on four
  consecutive Saturdays— September 26\, Oct 3\,  Oct 10\, and Oct 17 from
  2–4 p.m.—as well as in asynchronous small-group discussions in Keybas
 e. The goal of the training is to prepare participants to plan and carry o
 ut a COVID-appropriate non-violent direct action during the last week of A
 ugust. \n\n- Learn about Extinction Rebellion and other local activist gro
 ups\, as well as about the use of affinity groups to mass mobilize climate
 -related activism.\n\n- Explore NVDA possibilities in the categories of so
 cial media messaging\, real-world messaging (e.g.\, postering\, pop-up art
 )\, digital pranks (think the Yes Men)\, vehicle actions (e.g. kayaktivism
 )\, and resistance/resilience 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 affinity group to plan an action\, propose it to the l
 arger group\, revise it in accord with feedback\, and possibly figure out 
 how to collaborate or coordinate with other affinity groups.\n\n- Particip
 ate in an action planned by XR Chicago or other environmental or social ju
 stice group\, as a form of hands-on learning\, team-building\, and solidar
 ity.\n\n- Consult with XR Working Groups\, National Lawyers Guild lawyers\
 , and other experts about the kinds of support your action might require.\
