Direct Action Workshop

Saturday, March 17, 2012 From 11:00am To 5:00pm.

Direct action has played an integral role in most movements for social
change, from the civil rights era to the suffragettes, and from forest
defense to worker justice movements. This workshop is for people who
are newer to direct action and are interested in learning about
different kinds of direct action, as well as the basics of when, why
and how to integrate direct action into your campaigns. Topics to be
covered include: campaign strategy, choosing an action that suits your
goals, building your action team, common roles in a direct action,
decision making at actions, basic safety considerations, and
escalation and de-escalation during actions.

Trainers: David Sone is a campaigner with Earthroots, and Natalie
Caine is the volunteer organizer with Greepeace Canada.
