Hey folks! This message is to remind you that this week (Thursday),

investigation of nonviolence as a tool to achieve success in campaigns

Peace,
RAN-Twin Cities
What: Nonviolent Direct Action Training!
When: Thursday, August 5, 2010 7:00 PM
Where: Walker Community Church
3104 16th Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55407
NVDA Training:
Who: Everyone who wants to learn NVDA skills and join upcoming actions with RAN.
Why: RAN has been in dialogue with Cargill for over two years, and despite a myriad of actions and publications from RAN drawing attention to Cargill's brash disregard for indigenous human rights, endangered species, and preservation of the last remaining rainforests, we are still fighting to achieve a sustainable palm oil policy. This training is provided by Rainforest Action Network and Ruckus Society to ensure that activists in the Twin Cities have the training and skills for campaign escalations and direct actions!
When: Thursday August 5th. 7:00 – 10:00 PM (we will do our best to end before this time!). Sufficient snacks will be provided in case you don't have time to eat dinner before you come.
Nonviolent direct action includes civil disobedience and other types of protest that pursue means of change outside of the established institutional venues. This training is for people who already think NVDA is a good idea and would like to learn the skills needed to participate in NVDAs. This training is not for people who want to debate the usefulness of NVDA as a tactic, though discussion of its strategic application is always encouraged.
At this training we will practice NVDA skills! Some things we will cover will include: variety of NVDA tactics, NVDA strategy, blockading, de-escalation, dealing with what-ifs, legal consequences and interacting with police.
Call if you have questions!!
