Non-violent Direct Action Training

Learn how to take part in XR actions at this non-violent direct action training! This training is for people who are interested in potentially doing civil disobedience as well as people who want to play support roles for our actions. You will learn how to engage in non-violent civil disobedience.

We will cover some theory behind direct actions, discuss the logistics of arrest and potential legal implications, and talk about the many different roles (beyond risking arrest) that are crucial to successful actions. You will get to talk to a few people who have gone through the arrest process and ask questions you might have.

We recommend that you also attend an XR Welcome Call: this training covers XR's theory of change and organizing principles and will help you figure out how you'd like to be involved.

This training will last 90 minutes.
