Non Violent Direct Action Workshop (Whangarei)
December 4, 2019, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Come along and join us for the first Non Violent Direct Action workshop hosted by Extinction Rebellion Whangārei! All welcome, no experience necessary.
RSVP on Facebook
Extinction Rebellion (XR) is absolutely Non Violent, Disruptive, and Active. The science is clear. If we do not act swiftly, we face an unprecedented climate catastrophe. Our system lacks the political will to create the necessary changes; therefore we the people have a moral imperative to rise up.
The core principle of Extinction Rebellion is Non Violent Direct Action (NVDA). What does this mean exactly?
This NVDA Workshop will:
• Clarify what NVDA is, presenting key philosophies & elements of its successful implementation.
• Outline organisational skills, different roles and types of actions.
• Cover legal rights and advice for those willing to be arrested.
• Provide an open space for participants to gain insight, explore and voice concerns, encouraging them to decide their own level of involvement and roles within the movement.
• Enable participants to gain the confidence to plan and implement their own actions moving forward.
An Essential Workshop for all Rebels!
