Non Violent Protest Training: How to be a Streetwise & Steady Peacekeeper
Join us for a training on how to participate in peaceful, thoughtful, and safe protesting from experienced climate activist and author Eileen Flanagan.
Trained peacekeepers play a key role in keeping events safe, effective, and welcoming to all. This experiential training will strengthen people’s skills and confidence, while building community for these challenging times.
Come learn how to:
- Respond from a grounded place when the unexpected happens
- Assess complex situations and make decisions to maximize group safety
Understand our range of options when dealing with disruptions
A little light refreshment will be on hand.
