It's Time To Rebel!

Life as we know it is falling apart. Extreme weather events and mass species extinction cover the globe. The government has failed to implement the radical change we need, we are facing the unraveling of the ecological, social and economic systems that underpin our lives.

In preparation for future actions, including the International Rebellion on October 7th, join us for our introduction to Non-Violent Direct Action.

What Will You Learn? >>>

In this workshop you will learn action essentials, how to chat to police/public during actions, aspects of burnout and regenerative culture and quick decision-making.

You learn about XR affinity groups and the role they will play in direct actions, hands-on NVDA and a legal section with a representative from the Law Union BC.
